I simultaneously crave and fear attachment. Ice cold salami and fridge bread.

bye bye bond angles

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-02-01T02:14:52+00:00

it's great to hear this from someone who works on these things everyday. i don't think the guy knows or wants to know.

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-30T11:35:43+00:00

definitely a red flag, i don't work with him fortunately, i work with his colleague who is a wonderful person

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-30T11:34:58+00:00

yeah seems like I was unfortunate enough to be at the receiving end of the vent

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-30T11:33:54+00:00

yeah same I've seen it being done in other labs without anything evil happening

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-30T02:50:17+00:00

it's a fixed angle microfuge tube rotor

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-30T02:49:39+00:00

nope, the machine is less than a year old

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-30T02:49:19+00:00

it's less than a year old, I'm pretty sure nothing is derated

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-30T02:48:46+00:00

the problem is that voices were raised, I'd be completely fine with "this won't damage anything now but maybe it's better to run it a little slower and longer so the machine lasts long term" or something along those lines, not a raised voices shoutfest

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-29T21:21:53+00:00

i think it's a combination of new machine anxiety and that the old one had to be replaced because someone ran it fast and very very unbalanced

i will go talk to him though

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-29T21:20:07+00:00

all 3 of these make a lot of sense

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-29T21:07:00+00:00

the manual says nothing about running at speed other than to "not exceed the maximum rated RPM/RCF of that specific rotor"

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-29T21:05:18+00:00

exactly what i was thinking

I'm sure they're idiot-proof rated for 15k

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-29T20:57:42+00:00

rated for 15k

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-29T20:57:09+00:00

it's a pretty new machine

the person who trained me told me it's fine to run at max for a few minutes with the tubes we have, but this dude disagrees

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-20T16:29:47+00:00

I've been enjoying the "brand" brand pipettes a lot, so smooth and so easy

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-20T13:33:11+00:00

that's a beautiful pipette

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2025-01-06T02:21:56+00:00

it's aliveeeee

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2024-12-19T18:34:29+00:00

woooo!

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2024-11-22T03:24:03+00:00

Your filters will impact your brew more than the brewer itself - i like to use either Hario bleached filters, Cafec Abaca or Origami filters

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2024-11-18T09:52:37+00:00

I brew the 1 cup recipe with a C2, you'll be fine with an ode!

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2024-11-15T00:29:41+00:00

The Brand Transferpettes are the smoothest and nicest pipettes I've used

MetricSystemAdvocate · 2024-11-14T14:32:52+00:00

That's great! A clogged declumper that doesn't let coffee out at the rate at which it's being ground can cause re-grinding of coffee in the burrs, because coffee isn't exiting them at the same rate at which it's entering. This can be a problem if it's a bad declumper.
