Both glass and plastic can be damaged by exposure to salt water if not properly cared for and maintained.


What is the difference between Lucite Resin and plastic?

Lucite resin is a specific type of acrylic resin known for its clarity, strength, and durability, often used in higher-end applications like art pieces and furniture. Plastic is a general term for a wide range of synthetic materials that can be molded into various shapes, with different properties and purposes, ranging from disposable packaging to durable construction materials. Lucite resin is a type of plastic, but not all plastics are Lucite resin.


What is a pipette made out of?

Pipettes are typically made out of glass or plastic. Glass pipettes are more durable and can be autoclaved for sterilization, while plastic pipettes are disposable and offer versatility in design for different applications. Both materials are suitable for accurate and precise liquid handling in laboratories.


Can material that look the same have different chemical properties?

Yes. Nitrogen and oxygen are both colorless, odorless gases. That means they share physical properties (their appearance, or lack thereof), but they have very different chemical properties because they are in different groups of the periodic table.


What properties do gases and plasma share?

Gases and plasma both have the ability to flow and take the shape of their container. They are both composed of rapidly moving particles. Additionally, they can conduct electricity and are considered to be highly ionized states of matter.
