Two-headed chemical mayhem!

Gigantoid lab

Following on from the anti-Newtonian lab post, we have successfully begun work towards creating a super gigantoid lab. This lab will contain all the usual chemistry bits and pieces EXCEPT everything will be MASSIVE!

We have begun our quest by growing average garden variety pipette teats and suba seals to an amusingly large size. All you have to do is soak the pipette teat/suba seal in DCM overnight and there you have it!

Here's how much we managed to grow a pipetter teat:



If you think that's cool, you should see the gigantic suba seal we made. The first picture is a before and after shot, and the second is a comparison with some common normal sized lab objects:

I wonder why they haven't taught us important things like that in our lab introductions.

We also wondered if it was possible to convert B14 glassware to B19 glassware simply by incubation in DCM - though this seemed altogether less promising.

It does sound pretty cool though: No more walking through the lab looking for the person who borrowed my adapter - just dip the part that's too small into DCM (or the substance that yet has to be discovered)
