  Yes, I use lots of different chemicals in my microbiology research. We use some for cleaning, we use some chemicals like diluted alcohols to resuspend dried chemicals that don’t dissolve in water which are called hydrophobic.
  I use chemicals to help separate out hydrophobic molecules within a solution too. We have to make sure we wear protective clothing like gloves, lab coats and safety glasses. Safety first, ALWAYS!
