test-tube
Chemist's glass container
Test-tube as an adjective describes something produced or developed in laboratory conditions rather than naturally.
A test-tube baby is conceived through in vitro fertilization.
The term often carries connotations of artificiality or scientific manipulation: test-tube meat, test-tube experiments.
The noun test tube (usually two words) is a cylindrical glass container used in laboratories.
