- but no time to play with them:( sic . Things are a bit crazy right now. There a bunch of admin thing I have to do, I am one of 3 persons supervising a group of 1 years student, I am learning my Bachelor student to do epr and tomorrow (Monday) two French students (From ENSCR in Rennes) will show up and I will have to get them up and running to. But “Keep Calm on and Carry on”
For use the glutamate analysis I have bought a new evaporator as the one we had in the lad only could handle 9 samples, which for the glu project is like nothing. I chose to buy a Stuart solvent concentrator as it can handle 60 samples in one go, which, I hope is more than I need, but the alternatives I could find could only handle 27 samples.
I was also t hiking about a speedvac (a centrifuge with vacuum, basicly) , but they where around 40-60 KKr, without vacuum and the Stuart unit was just below 20 KKr wich helped making the decision. And then this unit can also be used for preparing lipid samples.
The second toy is an Eppendorf Multipette Stream for adding the reagents for the Glu analysis. I hope it will make my life simpler, but I don’t know as I still haven’t tried it
