Abstract: A device is provided for supplying a fluid to a cut plant. The device includes a container comprising a base and a surrounding wall extending from the base to define an enclosed space or cavity for holding the fluid. The device also includes a connector coupled to the container. The device further includes a flexible tube coupled to the connector at a first end and having a jagged open end, wherein the connector enables a fluid communication between the container and the flexible tube. A system is provided that includes such a device, a holder for the cut plant, and a fastener to secure the flexible tube to the holder. The flexible tube extends into the holder to allow the fluid to flow from the container to the holder, such that a fluid level in the container is the same as a fluid level in the holder.

Abstract: A device for supporting a laboratory object is provided. The device may comprise a body extending about and defining an opening. The body may be positioned in a customized orientation selected from a plurality of orientations. The device may include a first support defined by the body and configured to contact a surface when the body is in a first orientation. The device may include a second support coupled to the first support. The second support may be configured to contact the surface when the body is in a second orientation.
