Subsidiaries
Aldrich
Aldrich is a supplier in the research and fine chemicals market. Aldrich provides materials for drug discovery, materials science and chemical synthesis. Aldrich is well known among research chemists for having a wide selection of products. Their trademark "Sure-Seal" bottle, which incorporates a PTFE-lined septum inside a crown cap, allows the contents to be easily dispensed under an atmosphere of inert gas. Also, the Aldrich "Atmos Bag", is a sealable glove bag which enables the user to handle materials that are air and moisture sensitive in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen. Aldrich's chemicals catalog, the "Aldrich Catalog and Handbook" is often used as a handbook due to the inclusion of structures, physical data, and literature references. Many students use it as a reference book, especially undergraduates, as it is offered free by request.
