tikz-chemlab – A TikZ-based reimplementation for drawing chemical laboratory glassware
This package provides macros for drawing a variety of devices used mainly for chemical applications. Since most of these devices have a standardised design, tikz-chemlab spares you the trouble of having to create them manually. All basic objects are included in the file tikz-chemlabObj.tex and are loaded during the start of the package.
tikz-chemlab works with any LaTeX engine that
supports TikZ.
No PostScript dependency.
No

This is a TikZ port of pst-labo (v2.07, 2025/07/15) by Denis Girou, Christophe Jorssen, Manuel Luque, and Herbert Voß. The port uses English command names with the tkz prefix instead of the original French pst names, and all option keys have been translated to English.
