How/where can I get replacement parts for this? One of the cylinder broke.

Did you try contacting the manufacture ? 1-866-319-5900 Most of the time they would replace it for you, give it a try!

Can the experiments be done over and over or only once each?

This isn't just a typical science kit. This is your very own chemistry lab in a box!Made up of clear containers connected by winding tubes and valves - With just one look, this kit will have scientific imaginations reeling with excitement."It's just like a lab from the movies!"Open up the included lab manual and immediately kids start learning by doing.Start with the basics of air pressure and fluid dynamics as you try pushing the plunger with the valves opened, closed, with different containers filled, emptied, and with the tubes pushed above and below the water lines.Explore chemical reactions with different substances from around the house (e.g. baking soda and vinegar) and then use your lab contraption to see the effects those reactions have on the surrounding atmosphere.It even comes with pH strips you can use to test whether something's an acid or base - Then you can experiment with them! - (Though, of course, some chemicals will definitely require adult supervision. Safety first!)Finally, once you finish working though all forty of the experiments in the book, the fun STILL isn't over - Kids are encouraged to use all they've learned to set up and conduct all kinds of their OWN experiments.It's just like a real science lab - The exploration excitement never stops!Complete with all the tools you need, easy-to-follow instructions, and real scientific explanations for EVERYTHING, the Ultimate Secret Formula Lab is definitely a must-have for any and all kid scientists.SmartLab Ultimate Secret Formula LabReal chemistry lab for experimenting with air pressure, fluid dynamics, chemical reactions, and moreEncourages scientific learning, logic, critical thinking, creativity, curiosityKids become real scientists!40 experiments guide kids through real scientific principles including air pressure, fluid dynamics, acids, bases, and moreExperiments feature easy step-by-step instructions for set up, experiment, and safetyEach experiment features detailed scientific explanations kids can easily understandIllustrated lab manual and instructions includedSpill tray measures 17.75 x 11.25 x 0.75 inchesHigh quality design and materials for exceptional learning experienceIncluded: 3 structure support pieces, spill containment tray, contraption base, 3 valves, 2 elevated reservoirs, pneumatic plunger, plunger container, lid for elevated reservoirs, modular superstructure, 2 mixing vessels with lids featuring holes for tubes, ending container, 2 small tubes, medium tube, 2 long tubes, Petri dish with lid, Erlenmeyer flask, beaker, pipette, non-skid pads, pH strips, calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide, phenol red solutionIngredients Used in Some of the Experiments, Required From Home: Active dry yeast, alum powder (find with spices), Ammonia (ADULT ASSISTANCE REQUIRED), baking soda, carbonated water, diet and regular soda, dish soap, epsom salt, food colors, fresh marshmallows, hydrogen peroxide solution (3%), lemon juice, milk, raw potato, red or purple cabbage, salt, sugar, white vinegar (distilled)

Is it fun for a 12 yr old?

If your 12 year old is really into science experiments, I think so. I am using it with my 6 and 7 year old. We have done half the experiments and they love them!!!! Would do them all, one after the other if I had the energy. :-)

I know it’s recommended for ages 8+, but would a 7yo understand and enjoy this?

Yes definitely- but plenty of parental involvement is needed to understand the experiments. And be gentle with the equipment, it breaks easily. But the company is great about replacing parts free of charge.
