Love you guys...💐💐💐🥰💚

[@Rmm1722]

Awesome

[@AstroAri504]

Why do labs use Argon when it comes to testing things that involve light?

[@jacobatienza7344]

Its an inert gas that avoids unwanted chemical reactions.

[@mainaKgh009]

wow great

[@knightwolf8877]

This is amazing. So can I just buy these tubes

[@stuartdamon3610]

For $800,000.
