How about the sticky pads they are now selling for shakers? I'm guessing they would be a little more stabilizing since they keep flasks on a shaker while it is shaking. We just got them for our new shaker that hasn't arrived yet but I am anxious to try them out. I agree you need to look for ADA approved solutions but if none are available, necessity can be the mother of invention.

Stay Well!

What about lead rings for water baths? Obviously, they would be more effective with Erlenmeyers and graduated cylinders than with beakers, for instance, but they should be better than nothing-at least in the interim.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] lab help for student with prosthetic hand

Hi all,

A student's prosthetic hand has been damaged (not lab related) and unfortunately they now have very limited ability to grasp/steady items such as graduated cylinders, flasks, etc. Does anyone know of some sort of countertop item that could help stabilize graduated cylinders and other "tippy" items? I can imagine a few creative designs but I would rather have a commercial ADA-type product if possible. I've done a small bit of online searching but no luck so far; I'm probably not using the correct search words.

Thanks

Pat
