Does anyone know where to find API test vials? Please help

[tcarswell]

I soaked mine in vinegar to clean them and now the white writing on mine has rubbed off. I need at least four of them ,but cannot seem to find them anywhere. I don't want to buy a brand new kit so if anyone knows where to find them I would greatly appreciate it.

I am down to two vials,they all get broken somehow but you should be able get them sent to you if you contact the company.I order most of my supplies from Drs.Foster and Smith,they may be able to get you some as well.

Can you measure the 10, 25 or 50ml any other way and score the same vials with the correct level?

remark them with nail polish, thats what i did to my old ones, works great

Some older stores may have some to spare also.

I buy all my stuff from midland-scientific (www.midlandsci.com). Cheap test tubes. They aren't marked, but you can measure from an old one and mark it or just get a pipette.

Wow! I didn't expect so much help so quickly. This place never ceases to amaze me. Thank you everyone. I am going to do the nail polish idea
Thanks for the link cassharper I am going to start using those once they get here but the nail polish will hold me over.

Leakage, that's an understatement. It says to vigorously shake the vials, well okay sure. It's pretty bad after you put in 20 drops and you shake it for a minute and the water in the vial is below where your suppose to start with.
