Week 1 Day 1 - The Beginning




































Today was the first day at the CERES lab.



Items accomplished and discussed.

1. New columns installed on the GC-ECD system, and the new method put on the system.

2. New injector liners installed (and septa also)

3. Detectors reading very high so a bake out was warranted, system is currently baking the detectors. The detectors responses were still coming down, so it was decided to let them bake overnight.

4. MS-Office was installed on the GC-ECD so the spreadsheets and Word documents could be opened and manipulated.

5. The new bench sheets are being used, as Anna and company began LFT extractions (see pics plus several general lab shots included for free).

6. Anna and I discussed the other files and documents and we will cover the new SOP and calculations in more detail in the coming days.

7. An exploration of the internet connection finds it to be present but very slow. A test of the connection to the OSU server will be attempted in the next working day or two to see if the CERES lab can get into LIMS.
