It is a ductile, malleable, non-toxic, tasteless, odorless, and self-sealing thermoplastic. It has been manufactured by the company Amcor since its acquisition of Bemis Company, Inc in 2018. It comes in two colors, natural (colorless) and purple.

Autosampler
alt=Autosampler|thumb|Autosampler An autosampler is commonly a device that is coupled to an analytical instrument providing samples periodically for analysis. An autosampler can also be understood as a device that collects samples periodically from a large sample source, like the atmosphere or a lake, for example.

AutoAnalyzer
The AutoAnalyzer is an automated analyzer using a flow technique called continuous flow analysis (CFA), or more correctly segmented flow analysis (SFA) first made by the Technicon Corporation. The instrument was invented in 1957 by Leonard Skeggs, PhD and commercialized by Jack Whitehead's Technicon Corporation. The first applications were for clinical analysis, but methods for industrial and environmental analysis soon followed. The design is based on segmenting a continuously flowing stream with air bubbles.

Kugelrohr
A Kugelrohr (German for "ball tube") is a short-path vacuum distillation apparatus typically used to distill relatively small amounts of compounds with high boiling points (usually greater than 300 °C) under greatly reduced pressure.

microbalance
A microbalance is an instrument capable of making precise measurements of weight of objects of relatively small mass: of the order of a million parts of a gram. In comparison, a standard analytical balance is 100 times less sensitive; i.e. it is limited in precision to 0.1 milligrams. Microbalances are generally used in a laboratory as standalone instruments but are also incorporated into other instruments, such as thermogravimetry, sorption/desorption systems, and surface property instruments. It is the precision of the microbalance that distinguishes it from other weighing devices.

Homogenizer
A homogenizer is a laboratory or industrial device used to break down and evenly distribute particles within a liquid mixture, creating a stable and uniform emulsion, suspension, or solution. Homogenization is a key process in many fields, including food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and materials science. It is used to process substances such as tissue, cells, soil, plant matter, and emulsified products like creams, lotions, or milk.
