Laboratory Equipment Waste Stockpile

Discarded research apparatus from a pre-war lab: fume hood components, glassware, vacuum pumps, precision instruments. Yields rare-earth compounds and polymer resins, though identifying what spilled where is rarely possible.

Codex entry

Entry 1
Institutional disposal site for decommissioned research apparatus: glassware, calibration tools, sample containers, and assorted instrumentation. Most equipment originated from university and corporate laboratories within a four-state radius. Institute recovery teams prioritize these stockpiles for their reclaimable precision components.
Entry 2
Traders pay double for any glassware with a serial etch still readable. Calibrated instruments sell faster than weapons in Prosperity. Veteran scavengers can identify a stockpile's parent institution by the labeling tape alone - color-coded systems that haven't been standardized since the war.
Entry 3
A sealed centrifuge pulled from a stockpile near Aneth contained a sample tube that had survived intact. The contents were still liquid. The label, handwritten and legible, identified the sample by a catalog number from an Institute archive that did not yet exist at the time of the war.
