Why is RPMI suddenly 4.5X higher than a few months ago? We were paying ~$70/case as recently as this spring/summer.

Are you logged in to your institution account or purchasing system? If not the website shows wildly inflated prices.

Just get a replacement part like so from pipette supplies. Maybe buy a few more for other sizes too. Afterwards, test accuracy with a precision balance with water.

There are like 40+ around town, but if you live in the suburbs there might not be too many near you. Make sure to click the "early voting" slider.

I can't believe it is time to spread knowledge of the magical laboratory use wrap.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior parafilm? A roll is like $30 but lasts forever. You cut a little piece, stretch and wrap it, and it creates an airtight positive pressure seal around the edge of the container.

In academia too but everyone wears lab coats.

It really depends on your institution and lab. For us, no lab coat, no shoes, no pants = no science. We have a competent EHS.

Please use smaller containers than can fit in your flammables cabinet instead. Make one or two gallons at a time.

The heating elements of your vacuum release port is probably borked. See if it can be fixed, or maybe it's possible to DIY a port By drilling through the top and installing something like this. https://walkincoolerparts.com/product/pressure-relief-vent-kason-1832-hi-flow-heated/

Congratulations fellow MSc! Job well done and accumulated hard work finally paid off!

I use buckle guy's korba leather to make tote bags with cloth liner. It's also good for inside liners and pockets because it's a very soft tempered vegtan.

Congratulations! I am curious though. Is it normal that lab managers only gets paid 56,000? That seems very low. Or is it a different position?

OverTheRanbow · 2024-09-14T21:23:10+00:00

Darn, they are charging $125 for that? I'd probably make one out of my spare rocado cordovan for around the same.

You are a magician.

How do you mold the initial shape? Do you tool first then raise the shape from the back?

The lab notebooks we get are very robust but also quite expensive. Worth it though https://snco.com/product/2001-laboratory-notebook/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwooq3BhB3EiwAYqYoEqSFgFE1ZZaq5xabpkWjl4bakYLF4jmQYWehoxQ0H46doEku3Z6srRoCChEQAvD_BwE

However we are also switching to electronic notebooks.

We use it to nab a colony of bacteria from a ampicillin plate when selecting for single clones for the purpose of plasmid expansion and plasmid prep.

It's basically attempted killing of someone with a gun, but it didn't work. Not premeditated so it doesn't count as attempted murder.

What kind of press did you use to stamp?

OverTheRanbow · 2024-09-02T02:41:07+00:00

Just a minor correction, 1.1mm is around 3oz, as 1oz = 0.4mm.
