Is she stupid? is she slow? Does she not care? That’s all i got through primary school, secondary school, when i got to college they noticed something wasn’t  right but they didn’t want to  spend money on getting me tested, so them three questions continued.. if only they would of got me tested they would of realized that i am not stupid, i am not slow and i do care.. it was only when  i got to university that  I was diagnosed with being dyslexic, dyspraxic and suffering from visual distress. It only took 18 years for someone to listen to my cries of help, it only took 18 years for someone to realize that i’m not stupid, i am not slow and i do care. 18 years of being made to feel stupid, 18 years of making myself not give up, 18 years being undiagnosed! Everyone should be given the chance to excel regardless of a learning disability i was not given that chance until i was 18.

Next week I’ll give a presentation on the Researchers Night at Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary with the title: “Chemistry of light and the light of chemistry”.

During this presentation one of my favorite dyes will be also presented: Nile Red. However, just as usual, the 1000 USD/gram price was a bit over our budget, so I had to make it.

The raw product was contaminated with a few impurities, but a fast purification, by simple filtering the mixture through a short column helped a lot and ended up with a +95% pure product.

At first I concentrated the product from a dilute solution on the column as seen on the first pics. It’s interesting to see, that it has a different fluorescence in solution (faint orange fluorescent)  and while it’s absorbed on the solid phase (pink, highly fluorescent).

After all the product was on the solid phase, I added another solvent and washed down the pure, HIGHLY FLUORESCENT product. Everything else, what was mainly products of side reactions, stuck at the top of the column as seen on the second pics and the gifs.

Also here is a video from the whole process in HD: https://youtu.be/W0Lk5jkd_B0
