The chemistry station is a constructible settlement object and crafting table in Fallout 4.

Characteristics

The chemistry station can be used to create items containing chemical compounds, including chems, grenades, mines, stimpaks and syringer ammo.

When a chemistry station is in an owned settlement, its contents are shared with the location's workshop and crafting stations.
