Alembic

The alembic icon represents a piece of laboratory equipment used for distillation and purification. It is commonly used in chemistry, biology, and pharmacy to separate mixtures and extract pure substances. The alembic has a long history dating back to ancient alchemy.

In software and digital interfaces, the alembic icon is often used to represent scientific or experimental concepts. For example, it can be found in scientific software like LabVIEW or Mathematica, where users can create and simulate experiments. Similarly, it is used in educational platforms like Khan Academy or Coursera, where users can learn about chemistry and biology.

From a UX perspective, the alembic icon communicates a sense of experimentation and discovery. It helps users understand that a process or concept involves trial and error, and that the outcome may not be certain. The icon is often used in conjunction with other UI elements, such as diagrams or illustrations, to provide a clear visual representation.

Alembic is one of 2,162 icons in Noto Emoji (v1), made by Google Inc and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 128 × 128 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds AlembicIcon to components/icons/noto-v1-alembic.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed AlembicIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Alembic icon, or any of 2,162 Noto Emoji (v1) icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 128 × 128 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Alembic", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. AlembicIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <AlembicIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Noto Emoji (v1), Google Inc and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

2 other libraries draw an icon called Alembic. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are science, biology, chemistry, pharmacy, laboratory and experimentation. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Alembic in another set.

Noto Emoji (v1) draws many icons in several styles: Light next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Alembic's siblings in it.
