At my old job we would order silicone oil from a company called ClearCo, who sell all forms of clear silicone products. Seemed obvious enough.

Southern blot is a neat full circle:
The method is named after the British biologist Edwin Southern, who first published it in 1975.[3] Other blotting methods (i.e., western blot,[4] northern blot, eastern blot, southwestern blot) that employ similar principles, but using RNA or protein, have later been named for compass directions as a sort of pun from Southern’s name.
Diesel (Engine) - Rudolf Diesel
Mercedes-Benz - named after the daughter of Carl Benz
