Orbit Organic and Inorganic Foundation Set

Submitted by: Mr C V Horie (18/01/2022)

A set is issued to each student on a distance learning chemistry course, and have been for some decades. The students find the models useful, providing an inexpensive and easily constructed introduction to understanding the shapes and movement of molecules. Having atom centers, angles and bond lengths to scale demonstrates differences in structure and thus reactions. Thank you.

After Brexit tariffs and custom's costs are twice the price of the product

Response from Cochranes: We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with the service and costs relating to delivery to Spain. Whilst we have tried to make it clear via the temporary "Deliveries to the EU" banner announcement that there will be these extra costs we are also assessing options for a better method of delivery to the EU that will lower these costs for small orders. Best Wishes. Tom, Cochranes of Oxford.

I have been supplying these kits of models to students for a couple of decades, because they work as teaching aids. Cochranes has always had them in stock and delivery has been prompt.

Response from Cochranes: Many thanks for your review and continued custom - we are delighted to hear it. Cochranes of Oxford.

Orbit Organic and Inorganic Foundation Set

Submitted by: Dr. Deborah Polvani (27/08/2019)

Our students use these model kits in Organic Chemistry class. They are good models - the only reason I left 4 stars for the product quality is I wish they came with a better container to store the parts in once it is opened. But, for the price, they are really good. Shipping is fast.

Response from Cochranes: Thank you for your review Dr. Polvani and we have passed on your comment re packaging for this product. With very best wishes, Cochranes of Oxford.

Submitted by: Oscar Hung (26/01/2018)

As my subject teacher of Organic Chemistry of HKU recommended us to get a study set model for understanding the 3D structure of organic structures, it is good for me to get a good understanding of organic compounds when doing my revision !

Response from Cochranes: We are pleased the model has helped you. Good luck in your exams!
