#pipetting — Public Fediverse posts

What a fucking day...
Couldn't measure a single sample till 13:00 coz the device malfunctioned. Then the enzyme didn't arrive today and because of time pressure I didn't check if we still had enough.Coz in my memory we had plenty in that one vial. So the whole batch for this one analyte that you need to do fully manually is finished when I then start making the reagent solution...And find out I can't get 61μL out of the vial anymore.
Spoke with the last post doc there, okay.. I'll at least make half the patients.

I still tried if I maybe could get the 61.
There was a drop sticking to the cap, I aspirate that too and it looks like I got the 61μL!
Then the pipette tip (Sarstedt) falls off the pipette(Eppendorf) and lands on the floor, spilling it's content across the floor....

That's Hollywood level drama.
