    Spar on campus sell glasses. I assume you mean a pipette pump, they sell them too, but they're pretty **** and break easily so might be better off getting that somewhere else.

    Also sell labcoat and spatula in spar.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    They might have them behind the counter, definitely should have them, just ask.

    Should be between 5 and 10 quid, was October 08 I got mine so can't really remember :)

    Yeah they're sold behind the counter. Can't remember how much each costs though.

    There's a place near Trinity that sells better pumps. It might be Reads. However, it's been almost 3 years since I got mine... I feel old.

    In spar on campus - always there when you need it.

    And you don't need a pipette, you need a pipette pump!!
    And if it stops working, you can get a free one later on.

    Would definitely agree with getting a pipette pump somewhere else. The one's in spar are woeful.

    The glasses and lab coats are grand though.

    Anyone know where to get decent perscription lab glasses i tried my own optician and the ones they had were woeful!!!

    Need to know asap as I need a set for next Thursday, Been using contacts to tide me over but they are risky to wear and uncomfortable!!

    I would could consider add ons to my regular frames if I could find them!!


    Any suggestions?

    specsavers do them alright, most opticians usually can get them. They're giant lenses with additional protection attached to the legs. Modifying your own glasses will not be sufficient.
