When I started in the lab the instrument seemed to have not been used for a while, however I ran a bunch of standards and got perfect traces with good linear peak area/concentration dependence. I analyze solutions of small molecules which are quite lipophilic (logP range 5-8) in MeCN or MeCN/water, up to 100 uM range using isocratic methods, between 70-80% MeCN/water, 11 min runs with a C18 column, monitoring by UV. #environment #engineering #manufacturing #AAS #data We do not need to worry about high-concept things but let's try from the basics we have and see how it goes.Įlon Musk said, "I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems."
#TEXAS INSTRUMENTS QUIZ QUESTIONS HOW TO#
We have ample skills, but we don't know where and how to apply them. As an engineer, we always try to come up with something. What is the takeaway message? Try to find the solution if you see the problem. Maybe this will drive me to dig deeper into this area in the future. We opened the furnace together and figured out we have a similar part that we use for GC (Gas Chromatograph), and luckily, it worked out very well, and now AAS is working again.ĭid you experience the experiment failure because of the instrument? Have you ever seen an instrument from the inside? Have you ever become curious to see how parts work inside the instrument? I have always been fascinated to see sophisticated and highly precise instruments for quantifying heavy metals and contaminants. They said let's try to change ourselves, and they came with tools (this happened the first time in the last ten years). The technician showed me there's a rubber gasket worn out, and we need to replace it. Suddenly, a pipe broke, and the platform became wet, and I was afraid of what would happen with this? I immediately shut down the instrument and called the technician.
Actually, water cools down the furnace, which runs between 1000-1200 ☌. Today, while performing Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), I saw some leakage from the back of the furnace.
We should also understand how this instrument works and the principle used to make that instrument. is not just generating data by doing experiments using sophisticated experiments.
