- Alcohol resistant markers
Most marker inks smudge when they come into contact with ethanol. Unfortunately, ethanol is widely used around the lab to sterilize items and surfaces. Accidentally spraying ethanol onto your labelled sample or reagent tubes can result in a disaster when the writing vanishes. Alcohol resistant markers are thus a staple tool in the lab, ensuring that all samples and reagents remain identifiable at all times. A set of four different colors would make a wonderful present.
