The calibration of the GC-ECD went well. All the target compounds worked and only a few individual targets were needed to be run to verify peaks. The method is up and running and calibrated ready for samples.
I put together a quick start guide on how to access the VM, settings that need to be addressed in the remote desktop manager, what items to open to get to various programs, and all with a few associated screen shots. I will give this to the CERES folks as there was quite a bit of anxiety over using LIMS.
A test of the VM was attempted by myself and my computer to determine what kind of data transfer rate was going to be possible. The VM access went without problem, but as soon as it was put to the test of copying data from Senegal to OSU it suffered greatly but kept trying even though the connection was dropped several times. The computers kept reconnecting and files crept toward OSU ever so slowly. It took well over an hour to copy a couple of data files that in a local copy from a USB stick to my computer took seconds. The CERES lab has wireless connectivity, but a bandwidth test to any internet sites was very slow. A drop box solution has been proposed, files are placed in local folder and syncronized as time permits. This will be tested to see if it is a viable option. Further testing of the VM with LIMS will proceed to see what kind of results that produces.
