The present disclosure relates to chemical compositions, kits, and apparatuses and methods for using these compositions, kits and apparatuses in various assays.

Chemical compositions and methods of using same

A lid to a consumable container may have a cutout pattern that may open when impinged by a water or other liquid stream. The liquid stream may cause the cutout pattern to flex and in some cases rotate, thereby exposing gaps between elements through which liquid may disperse into the container. The container may be made from a pulp material, such as thermoformed bagasse pulp, and the cutout pattern may be made with a laser or stamp. The pattern may have various flexible elements, which may be defined by through or partially cut areas which may separate, as well as hinge areas which may be uncut or partially cut. The cutout pattern may have closed position prior to use, where ingredients in the container may be trapped, and may have an open position created when liquid impinges on the pattern, thereby opening the pattern and allowing liquid to be dispersed in a shower effect.
