A Day in the Lab

I started running samples early (7 a.m.) with some coffee from the beach, because brunch was not on until 10.30. I am almost out of bottles and canisters, the remaining of which I will use on Sunday. It is now clear that I will not be able to measure all my snow samples up here, although I done a good chunk of them, about two-thirds.

Lab Set-up in the Ops Ramp

Sample and standard runs went well and I now have decent calibration curves for both(!) headspace and liquid samples. I have used a mix of 20 standards in MilliQ water (with remaining traces of EtOH and MeOH, which served as solvents). I was done at 22.00, enough time to head to the bar for a drink.
