Yes, I have gone through these.

I plan on using the hot plate next to the hadway spinner to cure PMMA  
layer, which I will cover with foil. I will measure these devices  
eventually on the Cascade. I don't plan on using anything else in  
this lab.

I do have and use my own glassware.

I will not store my chemicals at SNF. I will take them back to my lab  
for storage. No one else will use these materials.
