Elemental Scientific Liquidating Chemicals, glassware, and used equipment

tomholm - 22-8-2020 at 06:47

Hi All,

Just want to let you know that Elemental Scientific will be liquidating its chemical, glassware, hardware, and used equipment inventory. Our business has grown in other areas and we've decided that we need to apply our energies there.

I currently have roughly 2 warehouses full of inventory. I would prefer to sell in larger lot sizes. As you might suspect, there are some items that I have a lot of, e.g., various sizes of graduated cylinders, round bottom flasks, crucibles, clamps, glass bottles, etc. I also have a wide variety of chemicals - some in smaller quantities, 16 oz, others is larger quantities, 5 kg, or 25 kg.

At this stage, I would prefer to work with people who are looking to buy larger quantities and are able to pick up with trailer(s). We are located in St. Paul, MN. I would also be open to shipping pallet sized loads (chemical get a little tricky).

I am finalizing a list of items. Please contact me U2U if interested. I think this would be a great opportunity for someone looking to get into business or wanting to set up the ultimate lab. Keep what you want and sell the rest.

This sounds like you are getting out of the small science market

This a tremendous loss to our community as well as the home school community.

Cou - 22-8-2020 at 23:10

Shit, now I have to update my website's SQL database of chemical sources.

Hopefully someone else will rise up to fill the (tiny) demand that elemental scientific used to fulfill.

I respectfully disagree with your interpretation of the economics involved.
Our favorite suppliers on Ebay etc. get all of their 3rd hand equipment every time something like this occurs. The only difference is this company chose to first post on sciencemadness, rather than reach out to the huge liquidation companies that have pretty websites and portals catering precisely to people like OP.

But on a more fundamental level:
Even just the interest and strength of your emotional reaction right there, had some effect on the value of the experimentalist/homeschooler/etc. market for scientific instruments. As long as YOU, and those like YOU(us) exist, there is a demand. The supply will always tend towards equilibrium with demand.

source: I use to work for a computer de-manufacturing company. Much of the business interplay was similar.

OP: I would take you up on your offer if I had the capital to invest in such palettes and facilities/logistics. There's a chance I will soon, maybe I will reach out.
Thank you SO MUCH for the heads up here on SciMad. That speaks deeply to your integrity over your interest in $$$

Some additional thoughts...

tomholm - 23-8-2020 at 06:51

I've received a few questions about whether this means that Elemental Science is getting out of the small science market. Unfortunately, the answer is "yes", although I probably didn't really want to admit that. Over the years, I have operated both an online store and a physical store selling science to the small businesses, schools, students, and hobbyists. I have viewed this part of my business as more of a service to those customers, whom I've always enjoyed meeting and learning so much from.

That said, the time has come where the other parts of my business requires more of my time, energy, and warehouse space. As a result, I need to make some changes. I wasn't very clear in my earlier post as to what I am selling. I'm pretty flexible, but after giving it more thought, here are some options:

1. Sell entire Elemental Scientific business - this would include the name, web site, inventory, point of sale system, vendor relationships/accounts, etc. This could be a sale to an individual or a company.

2. Establish a co-op, perhaps associated with Science Madness or other group of individuals, to continue the mission. In this day and age, it is something that could be run as a distributed company. One person would need to handle the warehouse and shipping, another could handle the website and marketing, another could handle the purchasing, etc. I would be willing to discuss something like this if there there is an interested group.

3. Liquidate inventory in large lots. I will be putting together a more comprehensive list of inventory over the next week or two. Might actually be best supplement with a video.

There's certainly a case to be made that with online education and home school increasing, access to to small science is more critical than ever. I have not seen a decrease in demand - whether it be people coming in to our store or online orders. I do think that, like any business, demand responds to marketing.

I'm open to discussing these or other options if someone is interested. Just U2U me and we'll talk.

macckone - 23-8-2020 at 20:15

earpain,
Elemental Scientific has been one of the best sources for hard to get chemicals and previously made special orders for sciencemadness members. There are other suppliers like chemsavers but they do not cater to us. While ebay is a good resource, it is hit or miss and many things are not available when you need it and shipments from overseas can take months.

Tom,
You will be missed by our community.
If I had the money I would take option 1 but unless I win the powerball, that isn't happening.
One thing to consider is selling to a competitor.
The Science Company is in a similar line of business and could potentially benefit from your stock.
I shop with them a good bit but don't have any affiliation.

I would love it if there was a group of members here that had the resources to handle option 2.

Posting More Information on Inventory

tomholm - 3-9-2020 at 05:03

Hi All,

Thanks for your patience as I pull together information on the inventory. I've done 2 things to help convey information about the items available and the volume available. I've produced 5 videos showing products as displayed in my store and uploaded those to a youtube channel. For all of you who have never had the chance to visit the store, I think you'll find these very interesting. Here is the link to the Elemental Scientific Youtube Channel

Additionally, I've created a spreadsheet listing the inventory items. This is inventory stored in my warehouse. There is overlap of items shown in the videos and contained in the list, but there are many items shown in the video that are not contained in the spreadsheet. Also, the number of items shown in the spreadsheet only include items in the warehouse, not in the store. The spreadsheet is a work in progress and I expect that I will need to post updates to that. I've attached the spreadsheet.

I have not taken an inventory of the chemicals yet. That will be coming in the near future.

And lastly, I would like to gauge the interest in larger, bulk purchases, so I may not respond to requests of prices for single items. I'm afraid I just don't have time to do that right now.

Thanks for your time and interest. I look forward to hearing from you.

Probably too late to mention it but I'm sure at least one MBA student at a nearby MN university may be interested. They'd have to make a presentation with evidence to a bank to get them to finance the sale.

Lab Supplies and Equipment Liquidation Auction

Elemental Scientific and BME Lab and Science

Sorry, I've been having trouble with my postings. Here is the information that I wanted to provide to you.

BME Lab and Science and Elemental Scientific are closing their retail store and online website that sold lab supplies and lab equipment. This change will allow us to focus our resources on providing repair and calibration services to our many wonderful and loyal customers, as well as, build our new business, Green Science Solutions, that distributes new, sustainable cleaning and disinfecting technologies and services. (If you haven't been to our web site, www.greensciencesolutions.com, please check us out. There are a lot of great products coming on the market as a result of the pandemic.) We are all about how to effectively clean and disinfect without using strong, harmful chemicals. -- And, yes, we do know a thing or two about harmful chemicals!

As a result, we are clearing our warehouse and auctioning a large amount of lab supplies, including glassware, clamps, used equipment and more! Most of the lab glassware and hardware items are new, never used. We will also have an assortment of used, unique glassware. Much of the lab equipment is used, but fully tested and functioning.

Bids can be placed through the online auction platform K-Bid Auctions .

This will be your last and only opportunity to purchase these items, so please check out our auction today! To avoid confusion, we have removed these products from our Elemental Scientific website during this auction.

Thank you,
Tom Holm
President

Elemental Scientific Chemical Inventory

tomholm - 10-8-2022 at 11:28

Hi All,

Attached is a spreadsheet of the remaining chemical inventory from Elemental Scientific. It's a pretty substantial list. I've also included an approximate retail price for the items, just to provide some context. For the most part, these prices were the prices from the Elemental store, but there are a few that were never sold through the store (custom orders, etc.) and those prices were obtained through research.

Additionally, the inventory is currently stored in 2 locations and in multiple sized containers. That is, some are in small quantity containers, while others are in bulk (5 - 50 lbs) containers. As a result, accurate quantities are difficult to maintain and actual quantities may vary slightly from spreadsheet.

As I've mentioned before, I'd like to sell in large lot quantities. I just don't have the time to handle a lot of small order requests and prepare chemical shipments. Therefore, onsite pick up is preferred. And again, if someone is interested in forming or adding on to an existing chemical sales business, we can discuss.

I will try to respond to questions and requests as quickly as possible.

Tom

Hi All,

While we've been gradually selling off much of Elemental's lab supplies, there is still a lot of lab equipment, glassware (lots of specialized adapters and unique pieces) chemicals, etc. left. We will continue to sell through auctions, as well as list some equipment and chemicals on the Elemental website.

If you would like to be notified directly of upcoming auctions or listings, please stop by the Elemental website and provide your email address. That way, you can easily stay informed about product sales.

Thanks again for your continued interest.

I noticed you had 3 fritted filter tubes.

Some of those have stopcocks, other don't.

For those who may not know, if you do a reaction for instance under inertness, and you have a precipitate, instead of cannula filtering to isolate, either with pressure or vaccum, you attach your reaction flask to it, and similarly another one on the other joint. When ready you merely turn it upside down to filter. Then you remove the solvent and put one in that will dissolve your precipitate.

Texium - 9-5-2023 at 18:56

Yep, they’re pretty great! I won one of them. It’ll certainly be a nice thing to have.

Hi All,

Here's a quick update on Elemental Scientific. We still have a lot of items and chemicals in the warehouse, so the auctions will continue, just a little slower than I'd like. I'll keep you informed here when another is scheduled. I believe the next one will be in 2-3 weeks.

In the meantime, we have a listing of many items that you can purchase directly from Elemental. The listing is stored on Google docs here. We will continue to update this listing and I expect that we will add some chemicals and equipment in the near future.

Please email to sales@elementalscientific.net with any questions.

Thanks.

Hi All,

I have a question on mercury thermometers. I have a large quantity of partial immersion, mercury thermometers of various temperature ranges, many that go very high temps (500 0F, 700 0F), as well as moderate temps (-10 0C - 200 0C). I'd like to see them go to a good use, rather than just recycling them. And of course, they cannot be sold in many states unless they are going to be used in a laboratory. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do with these? Not looking to make a lot of money on them.

Thanks, and I appreciate your input.

I thought that law was only targeted towards mercury fever thermometers? Additionally, I see little problem with just selling them as antiques, I for one would love to buy some from you.

The laws vary greatly by state and have been revised over the years. The EPA website makes it sound as if the restrictions are on fever thermometers, but it really depends on the state law. Many of the initial exceptions have been taken away, such as use in food processing, calibration services, research & laboratory use, etc. "Antiques" is not a recognized exception. In my state of Minnesota, the law does not cover thermometers manufactured prior to the law enacted in 2002. My thermometers are old stock manufactured prior to the enactment; so based on that, you might say that is an "antique" exception.

charley1957 - 3-10-2023 at 11:53

Hey Tom just send all those "old" thermometers to me, I'll find something to do with them. :cool:

charley1957 - 3-10-2023 at 11:56

Show us a list, I'm not the only one here who might be interested in some of them. I used to have a long glass yellowback mercury thermometer I used for outside temperature. I wish I'd taken it with me when I moved away from that house. I'd certainly love to have another, and would love to see what other ones you have to offer.

Dr.Bob - 13-10-2023 at 10:04

I bought a few things (I actually needed a few things that I don't have in my pile of glassware) from Tom at Elemental, and the sale was easy, the shipping was great, and the items were good. I am very happy with what I got, and for a great price. I am sorry to see him leave the science sales business, as I am only liquidating stuff, not running an ongoing business, and I hate to see people less able to do home science. Hopefully others will keep filling the void.

Is the shipping of the items of the auction only to the US or also international ? (If so there is so much I want to buy, getting bulky glassware in the plane is not an option unfortunately)

A new auction underway, April 2024

charley1957 - 5-4-2024 at 18:25

I’ve looked at all the items of the latest auction of lab equipment. Too many items are completely undescribed. No joint sizes in the descriptions, are the items plastic or glass when there is a choice, how thick are the glass plates, what size stopper does it take, etc, etc. These things make a difference. How can I know if I want these items if I can’t see the most basic things about some of them? The descriptions tell you virtually nothing, and often there is only a single photo. I’m not looking for a whole engineering description, just some of the most basic parameters.

dettoo456 - 6-4-2024 at 07:03

I think since everything is so cheap you’ll need to assume for most items that they are what you’d need.

I do understand what you mean though - try contacting tomholm for more info on a item-by-item basis. I believe he’s just try to clear excess inventory and the way he has things listed is just the fastest and easiest.

I see what you mean, some things it is not clear the quantity or size. I would email Tom and ask for details. Maybe they can add more details to some listings.
