T
- teflon
  
  Teflon is actually a brand name of the DuPont company referring to the material PTFE, a fluoroplastic.
- thermoplastic
  
  also plastomer - The term thermoplastics refers to those plastics capable of being deformed under the influence of temperature.
- thymine
  
  also 5-methyluracil - Thymine (C5H6N2O2 ) is one of the four coding nucleobases in DNA. It forms the complementary base to adenine via two hydrogen bonds.
- torr
  
  torr unit - A torr is the static pressure generated by a column of mercury 1 mm in height. A torr is not an SI unit of measure. Conversion: 1 torr ≈ 133,322 Pa ≈ 0.001333 bar.
- toxic
  
  The effect of a toxin is described as toxic. ‘Toxic’ can also be defined as meaning ‘poisonous’.
- toxicity
  
  The degree to which a toxin is toxic or poisonous.
- toxin
  
  A toxin is a biogenic substance capable of damaging an organism by disrupting its physiological metabolic processes. The scientific discipline investigating toxins is called toxicology. Bacterial toxins are divided into exotoxins and endotoxins.
- transcription
  
  Transfer of the genetic code of the DNA to the RNA.
- transmission
  
  Transfer of the genetic code of the DNA to the RNA.
- transmit
  
  To send or convey from one place to another.
- transparancy
  
  A particular material’s permeability to light does not allow us to draw any conclusions whatsoever as to whether it is UVC-transparent! UVC rays are substantially shorter and richer in energy than the electromagnetic waves that constitute ‘light’. With our spectrophotometer, we offer our customers a free service analysing the transmissibility of supplied fluids.
