Chemistry Cookie Cutters

Description

Our chemistry cookie cutters get 3D printed on demand in Romania. Estimated shipping between Wednesday November 27th and Friday November 29th. By producing items on demand rather than in bulk, we help reduce overproduction. Thank you for supporting mindful and sustainable nerdy shopping!

If you choose 6 chemistry cookie cutters, this set consists of:
– Benzene molecule cookie cutter (4.9 × 4.3 × 1.2 cm)
– DNA cookie cutter (11.2 × 5.7 × 1.2 cm)
– Oxytocin (love) molecule heart cookie cutter (9.5 × 7.7 × 1.2 cm)
– Erlenmeyer (conical flask) cookie cutter (7.3 × 4.7 × 1.2 cm)
– Beaker cookie cutter (7.3 × 4.7 × 1.2 cm)
– Ho (Holmium) periodic table element cookie cutter (5.5 × 5.5 × 1.2 cm)

You can customize any set to include any number of science-themed cookie cutters from above + any element from the periodic table.

Each cookie cutter comes with a stamp and outline for perfect results, no matter the dough thickness. Most of our cutters come in white, but depending on availability, they may also come in a different color.

Notes:

• Care Instructions: Hand wash only in warm soapy water. Our chemical cookie cutters are not dishwasher safe!
• Only use our cookie cutters for baked cookies. They are not recommended for no-bake cookie doughs or other non-baked applications.
• Material: Made from PLA, a strong and durable 3D-printed thermoplastic.
• Our new printing method may leave a rough texture on the back of the stamp, but ensures the knob stays secure.
• Fine plastic hairs may be left from 3D printing. These are harmless and don’t affect the functionality, but if you prefer a smoother finish, you can easily remove them with a knife, a lighter, or a hot hairdryer. Sometimes, even washing them with a brush does the trick.

About the Chemistry Cookie Cutter Designs

An Erlenmeyer flask, also known as a conical flask or a titration flask, is a type of laboratory flask that features a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck. Erlenmeyer flasks are named after the German chemist Emil Erlenmeyer (1825–1909), who invented them in 1860.

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a long polymer made from repeating units called nucleotides. A DNA molecule carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and RNA are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix. Its structure is dynamic along its length, being capable of coiling into tight loops and other shapes.

Oxytocin (Oxt) is a mammalian hormone that acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain. Oxytocin is best known for its roles in sexual reproduction, in particular during and after childbirth. It is released in large amounts after distension of the cervix and uterus during labor, facilitating birth, and after stimulation of the nipples, facilitating breastfeeding. Recent studies have begun to investigate oxytocin’s role in various behaviors, including orgasm, social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, and maternal behaviors. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as the “love hormone”. The inability to secrete oxytocin and feel empathy is linked to sociopathy, psychopathy, narcissism and general manipulativeness.

Benzene is an important organic chemical compound with the chemical formula C6H6. The benzene molecule is composed of six carbon atoms joined in a ring with one hydrogen atom attached to each. As it contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms, benzene is classed as a hydrocarbon.
