Today not much work was done in the laboratory. The GC run of the retrieval 2 samples at first glance showed the same type of contamination as retrieval 1. This is only a provisional statement until I can look at the chromatograms more in depth. It looks as if the reagent blank is fairly clean though. This leads me to believe that the contamination either was introduce during the storage of the LFT prior to use or during construction. I think we can come to a better conclusion when the data is actually worked up and the blank LFT from the lab is analyzed. I feel that determining where this contamination came from is an absolute must before any other LFT can be made, deployed, or processed.
I performed a thorough review of the bench sheets created during this project and found that more attention to detail is needed when filling these out. I had Anna, Marie, and Adama go over the bench sheets to verify that they were filled out correctly and fix errors that had occurred. It is obvious that some sort of error correction code system or protocol needs to be implemented such as OSU's SOP1200.
A party was thrown in my honor to thank me for my time and effort. It was very much appreciated.
