yay!! It is my last day of attachment in pr lab =)

thanks for all their guidance during my period of attachment..

And thanks the pr staff for treating me to eat in a restaurant last week
Now, it's time for me to go..

I will miss the lab.. and all of them..

The extraction lab =)

Sampling area..

This is the place where i weigh all those fruits and vegetables daily..

where i cried daily.. as i cant stand the smell of spring onion, chilli, garlic...

I guess i will miss this place the most...

lol.. as there is vistor coming on wed.. they have arrange those product that they tested nicely..

I like to do cocoa product testing the most.. =) especially when doing the extraction for Organophosphorous as well as for the extraction method using gel permeation chromatography..

It simply smells nice.. And make me have the craving of eat chocolate especially when i was doing the testing for cocoa products..

It was 100% better than doing the extraction method for belachan..

I dont like the smell of belachan.. smell weird..

ok.. bottles and bottles of reservoir /river water tt i have tested on.. lols..

This includes doing of CS2 as well as the OP/OC/PY methods.. lols.. seriously.. i dont like to do testing for water sample.. cause... the separating funnel is damn heavy.. and i nid to use the 1L seperating funnel with 800 ml of water sample added inside.. my hand will be damn 'suan' to shake all those funnel especially when there is alot of water sample. Furthermore, the addition of dicholoromethane will accumulate alot of gas inside the funnel when shaked.. thus, i nid to release the gas alot of time..

usually, the PR lab is damn quiet.. only the printing sound of the machine...

Look at how many machine there are..

the gc machine tt i have been using for the past 9 weeks..

I have been operating the HP 6890C and HP series2 5890 gc machine daily..

From changing of liner, glass spectum, preparing standard.. solvent and etc..

all i did it myself.. they juz put me totally in charge of this two machine and cant be bother abt me =(

Lucky this two machine didnt give me alot of problems... lols..

I was happy to prepare the standard and obtain a very good curve.. ^^ simply by following the manual.. lols.. they asked ' why u first time prepare standard and recovery, then the result is so good ar?' =P

ok.. as i mentioned in earlier post.. the pr is also the national pesticides residues centre in singapore.. So there was a room with alot of books related to pesticides..
