Im going on a 2,000 RM Budget. That's 2,000 divided by 3 (USD) ill leave you guys work out the maths ! -EdgyAlien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdEarl Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Since your main interest is chemistry, I assume you want a chemistry lab. The money you have to spend is not much; therefore, you will have to only purchase things you absolutely need. A single instrument, for example a mass spectrometer, costs much more than you have to spend. Thus, to answer your question is not possible unless you share what you want to do with the lab.

hypervalent_iodine Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Basically, what Ed said. Your funds are no where near enough for a lab. The glassware wouldn't be too expensive, but you will certainly not have enough to install engineering controls, equipment such as vacuum pumps or purchase chemicals (you wouldn't even be able to afford one of those aspects, really). What exactly are you planning to use the lab for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 How expensive is equipment in Malaysia? Though the real question is what do you want to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly are you planning to use the lab for? Im planning to use this lab for 'Hobby' purposes. I enjoy experimenting with acids, alkalis etc. Also, How much would a chemistry lab cost.

EdEarl Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Mixing acids and alkalies can be dangerous, and you should have something like this for protection. http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/Vented-Universal-Fume-Hood-4HRY4?gclid=CJ_vw5ev67cCFWYV7AodWlAAlA&cm_mmc=PPC:GooglePLA-_-Lab%20Supplies-_-Lab%20Fume%20Hoods%20and%20Accessories-_-4HRY4&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=4HRY4&ef_id=ULS4WgAAAoRKsPlq:20130617150702:s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
