Equipment: Forceps

Forceps are the "tweezers" in an organic chem lab. They come in many sizes and shapes, sometimes old and discolored, sometimes new and shiney, sometimes sharp and pointed, sometimes flat-ended. They all work fine!

Forceps are used for any situation where you have to grab a small item and cannot do it with your fingers.

Location: Student lab drawer equipment. Feel free to exchange for a different one on the cart in the front of the stockroom.

Cost: $1.50. Note: traditionally, the organic chem lab management does not charge for forceps, since it is unlikely that you either broke them or took these possibly chemical-laden forceps home. Instead, they are found laying all about the lab rooms, left out and forgotten. We reserve the right to change this no-charge policy at any time in the future.
