Chemicals

You have all sorts of things here, and can make so much. You can make medicines, foam, flash powder, poisons, space lube, and so much more. The limit on combinations is a limit that exists only in your creativity (and the game engine). Be sure to be careful though, mixing the wrong chemicals can be bad for your health and please make sure you know what a chemical does before you use it. Experiment at your own risk.

Medicine

The vast majority of chemicals you will be called on to make. Typically, a small amount of each should be kept on hand. Assuming the medical team is not incompetent, they should be able to keep everyone alive and quite healthy with your assistance. Formulas are formatted to be "mechanical recipe (how the game calculates it) OR practical recipe (how to make a bottle or two's worth using only a single beaker)". Underlined ingredients are not in the dispenser; mouse-over to see how to acquire that chemical.
