Help needed. Serums, compounds and other chemicals

[Steelmage99]

Hey.

I have recently gotten my hands on a sizable quantity of test tubes in a variety of sizes. This has inspired me to make a Hall of Fame of sorts to celebrate the wonderful world of chemistry in movies and games.

I am looking for inspiration as to what serums, compounds and concoctions I should include in such a collection.
While I am looking for compounds that are central to the story-line (or at least plays a significant part), and that can be represented by "stuff" in a test tube, you should not feel restricted in what any of you can suggest. All suggestions are welcome.

As inspiration I humbly submit the following;

Super Soldier Serum ("Captain America") - perhaps a German and/or Russian version as well
6-carboxytetrahydropterin ("Lucy")
ALZ-112 ("Rise of the Planet of the Apes")
C24 serum ("Doom")
T-Virus ("Resident Evil")

Thank you in advance

I sense this thread will become epic.

"Mysterious serum" from fallout 4. theres only like 12-13 in the game and it prohibits ageing
The serum from the cover of the movie serum, just to say that you have it.
Slo-mo from Dredd, if that counts. Jet from fallout is also an inhalant with the same effect essentially
Valkyr from max payne. more of a drug than a serum per say, but still cool looking
the serum from the Blade series

There's a serum used in Clockwork Orange: http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=265341

There's the VX green goo from "The Rock."

Silver Nitrate and Holy water is a must for any collection.
"Pink Slime" Ghost busters 2,
Green ooze from Turtles
Nanite blood Samples (normal are red, Borg can be red, green or Black.)

Herbet West's Reanimator serum from the movie of the same name (I assume some sort of fluorescent lime green liquid would work)

Slag from Borderlands would be pretty cool - black/purple thick glowing fluid. yum.

along the lines of glowing though, you could build a display rack where some of the tubes have coloured LEDs under them, so one that are meant to glow can be lit up, and others don't need to.

Not a liquid, but how about Iocane powder?

Assortment of poisons, arsenic, cyanide, and so on. A florescent one labeled antidote ?.

I have a bunch of plastic cigar tubes I may do this with. Have to make sure whatever I use does not eat plastic.

 

[paddyfritz]

Storing it in a wood chest like the one in House - 2.15 Clueless would be cool.

 

[TinyTim]

I have a large assortment of test tubes that would be PERFECT for this. I've been on the hunt for a line of cheap, easy to reproduce, start/stoppable props and I believe this is it!

Thanks so much guys.

Also THANK YOU VioletSun! the second I saw this thread I thought of Flubber. I might make my socket for that one have a cell phone rumblepak on the bottom hooked up to a microphone so that whenever it hears music it moves around a little.

Also, Kaylee's Engine room Wine? Anyone?... Anyone?

...Bueller?

You could also include the antidote from Temple of Doom.
