Wikipedia's article on the matrass, a long necked glass vessel used in alchemical and early chemical distillation, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for the vessel's standard definition and basic use, the kind of uncontroversial factual detail this atlas cites it for, and less reliable for any specialist claim about a specific alchemical text's use of the term. Use it for the vessel's ordinary definition; a claim about its role in a particular alchemical tradition needs a dedicated history of chemistry or alchemy source.
