Things were going on at the Beaker manor and Circe had an unfortunate timing of walking in on it once again.

Circe: Really? I have to make an appointment in advance, but he gets his ass calibrated just like that?

Circe wasn't exactly letting her husband have a robot boyfriend on the side out of her good will. She thought it would be a fun opportunity to experiment more with her alien vaccine and test its capabilities on less organic creatures. Loki was NOT letting his Servo get impregnated...

5 Times Tony Almost Pushed Bruce Too Far, and 1 Time He Definitely Did

(1)

Bruce Banner was a morning person. Luckily, Tony knew this in advance, so he’d recorded a whole Welcome Message for JARVIS to play on the first morning Banner had access to the lab floor in the tower.

What Tony hadn’t realized (but should have) was that Banner lacked the patience to listen to Tony’s self-aggrandizing message when there was a bunch of expensive equipment to play with. So when Tony went to find Bruce at the crack of ten AM, his new friend was already arms-deep in one of the machines, figuring out how it worked. Out of sight. Where Tony wouldn’t know not to startle him.

“Come out, come out, wherever you are!” Tony boomed, seconds after he’d walked through the door.

There was a dull thud and a very un-Bannerian swear word.

Things went downhill from there.

An hour later…

“Mind if I put on some music? How about…” Tony snapped his fingers, and Zeppelin started blaring. That was a surprise, because his Welcome Message had made clear that Bruce ought to pick a few songs for the two of them to share, and if he did not, then Tony would pick them. This was one of Tony’s choices.

No response.

“Okay, maybe this is more your speed?” A finger snap swapped the music instantly to Metallica, Suicide and Redemption, which Tony thought was a really clever touch. 

Across the room, Bruce looked at the ceiling but didn’t comment.

Tony tipped his head to the side. It was possible that someone with the side effect of turning into a green monster when he was angry might not go for heavy metal while working, but that was why he’d had JARVIS set up to ask Bruce to pick his own. Ahh, well. He’d planned for that, too.

This particular lab had one of the best speaker systems money could buy, and Tony had commissioned a buddy of his to record a version of Pachelbel’s Canon to take advantage of that.

He waited to pull the trigger on that till Bruce was doing something less important like scribbling into his notebook.

“Okay I get it. You’re not into that kind of music. I’ve got you covered, my friend,” Tony said, snapping his fingers one last time.

The loudness of the beginning notes made some of the glass beakers shiver against each other, and Bruce actually jumped in surprise, his pencil scratching a long line across the notebook page.

“Tony, what the hell are you trying to--” Bruce took off his watch, tucked away his glasses. “I thought you invited me here because you wanted to collaborate, and I am happy to see that you’re able to work in tandem silence. But I gotta say, it really seems like you want me to--” He stopped, hands at his fists turning distinctly non-flesh colored.

“Shit, Bruce, I’m sorry. I got excited,” Tony said, hating that his instinct was to make sure he had a readily-available suit of armor to don for future lab visits. If there were going to be any. Today’s was clearly over, because Bruce was already heading for the door.

“I didn’t make clear how important this was to me,” Banner said through gritted teeth as he walked past. His ears were actually green.

“So, no music then?” Tony said, in a desperate bid for levity.

“No music.”

The bleak, double-toned resonance behind those two words had Tony feeling like shit for the rest of the day, even though Bruce hadn’t even slammed the door.

(2)

It took some delicate e-mailing and three days for Bruce to come back to the lab, and two more days after that for Tony to join him.

He was prepared, this time. Tony wore a suit. He put those CSI booties over his shoes, wore sunglasses to obscure his expression, and he stuck a hand-sized whiteboard into a holster on his belt, for communication. Everything that Tony Stark could do to mitigate how being himself might set off his new science buddy, he’d do, because this was really important to him, too.

When he walked in on that fifth day and Bruce looked up, the way his confused expression turned into giggles told Tony he’d done something right.

“Okay, see, now that’s funny. Go take all that off and join me? I need three hands, and you’re one of them.”

(3)

Even when Tony was the most happy, there was always something at the very back of his mind that worried about what could go wrong. Here, the thing that could go the most wrong was Bruce feeling like he wasn’t safe to stay and be Tony’s very best science buddy ever. Bruce had made him promise to come up with some contingency plans for containing the Hulk, and they were in progress, but not all fully implemented yet.

That was why at two in the morning after a stretch of eight hours in the lab, Tony went for containment overkill when he heard a slicing noise followed by a sound of pain from Bruce.

“JARVIS, isolate the lab. Be ready to cut power if necessary. Bruce?”

“Tony, please tell me that doesn’t include the internet?” Banner sounded upset, but not upset upset, so that was a good sign.

“Whatever you need, you let me know, okay?”

“I need you to stop it with this hair trigger!” Bruce came around from behind some machines to hold up two pieces of a mechanical belt that had been sheared in half. “I promise you, I have a handle on myself.” He scratched his head, looking like a cross between a kindergarten teacher wearing a scientist’s costume and a student that just got in trouble. “It’s starting to feel like you don’t trust me with your stuff.”

“Shit. I didn’t think of it that way,” Tony winced. “I definitely trust you. You’re the Phthalo Green Giant, I swear.”

Bruce’s eyebrows furrowed, and Tony grinned, pulling out the whiteboard he still wore in its holster for shits and giggles. On it, he wrote: p h t HALO.

“You said you quit drinking alcohol?” Bruce asked.

Confused, Tony nodded.

“Maybe start that back up?” There was a hint of a smile in his voice.

(4)

Working with Bruce was like having a lab partner who didn’t actually hate you, who could keep up, and even better: had better ideas than you did sometimes. It was a dream come true.

All the more reason to learn how not to screw it up.

“So, do you have any guidelines on how I can avoid the Large of the Light Brigade?”

Bruce had been sipping his tea, apparently, and the sucked-in laugh at Tony’s awful pun caused him to cough violently.

“Shit,” Tony said, unsure of whether he should also laugh, or start running. He quickly grabbed a paper towel, small garbage can, and a broom, and approached cautiously with all three of them outstretched. “Pick one?”

“Am I supposed to hit you with the broom?” Banner’s voice was scratchy, but he didn’t sound upset.

“I figured, you know, either barf or get out the aggression before it becomes a problem.”

“Tony, I mean this in the nicest way, but you seem to be the only one out of the two of us with a problem. I’m not going to Hulk out if my tea goes down the wrong way.”

“In my defense, that’s why I was asking the smart-ass question in the first place!”

Bruce sighed and turned back toward his workspace, but the edge of his lab coat knocked down his tea cup, which shattered. Bruce was faced away, and he just dropped his head in silent defeat for a few seconds.

Tony set down the garbage can sideways, anchored it with one foot, and swept the broken pieces into it. The paper towel wasn’t quite enough to get all the tea, but it was close.

“There, all set. As penance, can I get you the mug I saw online the other day? It had the Hulk wrapped in the American flag and the words ‘Star Spangled Banner.’”

“Never change, Tony,” Bruce said in a strangled sort of voice.

“I mean, I will if I need to, that’s why I asked.”

Bruce turned around, a strangely tender expression on his face. “You don’t, but uh…” He scrubbed a hand through his hair, looking as though he were at a loss for words. “I’ll see what I can come up with.”

(4)

Bruce had clearly gotten a satirist from The Onion to write his list. It had stuff like ‘don’t fire a gun at me’ and ‘don’t wake me up with a bucket of cold water and an air horn.’ All things that would make Tony Hulk out if he had the capability.

They were working on a piece of Chitauri tech that he’d talked the government into letting him examine. When Tony walked into the lab, Bruce looked like he’d already been working for hours.

“I see you got the list,” he said with a shy smile, his face lit up by the purple glow of the device in his hand.

“Yeah, either that, or I got a kindergartener’s list of pranks! I thought you said you were always angry.”

Bruce was about to answer when Tony got an idea, holding up a finger and crossing the room to grab one of his early armored gauntlet prototypes. It still had actual wiring to connect to the power source, instead of the surface to surface transfer technology he’d come up with since then.

“You’re planning to… what? Jam those leads into this thing?” Bruce held up the glowing pod.

“Sure, why not?”

“I just gave you a list of why not!”

“So I’ll put on the suit, and you can go hide in my office instead of being a Guinea Big!”

Bruce took off his glasses and rubbed at his eyes with his forefinger and thumb. “How long have you been holding onto that one?”

“You don’t want to know,” Tony grinned.

(5)

The best way to fight back against the ridiculousness of Bruce’s List, in Tony’s opinion, was to print out an extra copy of it and pin the damned thing on the wall. As with any sort of sticky note or wall sign, though, it didn’t take long for the List to fade into the scenery for Tony, where he didn’t really notice it anymore. That was until he saw it was different, one morning.

There were three new lines.

Do not set your coffee cup down on my notes

Turn off all power to equipment you are not using, so you do not electrocute anyone

RELAX. You’re my friend

Tony almost got emotional.

Bruce could have gotten upset, could have told him about the first two, but he didn’t, probably because of the third. That was on Tony.

He resolved to do better.

(oops)

“Tony.”

Immediately, Tony knew there was a problem. There was a depth to Bruce’s tone that wasn’t usually there, a recognizable depth.

“You’re right, I’m sorry. It’s too dangerous. I’ll just--”

“Damnit, it’s too late!”

Bruce was right; the current was overloading, and since Tony had just been trying something out, something that wasn’t meant to conduct that well, he’d skipped past some of the safety shit. Except instead of risking his eyesight by looking away without his safety goggles, he’d risked his whole life by without having a safe, grounded place to stand.

“JARVIS, kill the power!” As he spoke, Tony pulled the Fe-Hulk bracelets out of his pocket and clasped one to Bruce’s wrist, grabbing at the other with the desperation of someone who knew his plan would work. He’d built Bruce’s version of the protective suit in secret, because Bruce Banner was the kind of friend who would make you promise not to do something like that if he found out about it.

If he was protected by something other than his angry alter-ego, Bruce Banner shouldn’t feel unsafe enough to need to.

“Get down-- no, what are you--”

The rest of Bruce’s words were unintelligible, as large arcs of current started bowing out from the device. Tony was thrown sideways before he could get the other bracelet on. The last thing he saw before he passed out was an angry green blur.

Tony woke up in a hospital bed, which was just insulting. He was rich enough for someone to have called in all the medical people on site, wasn’t he? Was there footage of him being gurneyed somewhere while unconscious? How the hell had Pepper allowed this to--

“Tony?” It was Bruce, standing at the window.

“How bad is it?” Tony whispered.

“You have a concussion and a broken arm. Looks like about twenty thousand dollars of damage to the lab, but you’re alive, so--”

“No, the-- really?” Tony scowled and it hurt, which was new. “I mean, how much groveling do I need to do to keep you around! Do you have a suitcase hiding in the bathroom? Smart of you to run off while I’m damaged and incapable of following you, but you should remember I can fly.”

“You’re-- That’s what you’re worried about? Not the fact that I hurt you?”

“I don’t remember anything like that.” Bruce walked over, his brows furrowed, but Tony kept going. “In fact, I remember my best friend doing something he absolutely hates so he could crouch over me like a protective green lightning rod. Oh, wow, I really do have a concussion. That was terrible. I can do better, hold on.”

“Tony--”

“Hulk Norris!” He grinned up at Bruce, who was doing his level best to look cross, and completely failing. “That’s a thank you, by the way.”

“I gathered,” Bruce said. He looked down at the bed, hand fiddling with the adjustable side like he wasn’t sure he could stand to make eye contact. “Best friend?”

“You bet your big green ass,” Tony said, immediately frowning. “Shit, I’m off my game.”

“Keep that up and I’ll put nicknames on the List.”

Tony gasped, clutching his chest in actual horror. “You wouldn’t.”

“Yeah, I suppose that wouldn’t be Ferrous.”

“I thought you had healing factor! That pun is clearly the result of brain damage,” Tony declared, unable to look at Bruce for fear of giving away how pleased he was that his lab screw-up hadn’t driven him away. He raised his voice, calling toward the closed room door. “Nurse! Nurse, this man needs a check-up right now.”

It was a few days before Tony was cleared for lab work, and even then, it was more lab clean-up than anything else. In truth, the Hulk hadn’t actually created too much chaos. It was all in the center of the room, meaning that the equipment itself was damaged, but none of the structural elements. Tony used the suit to help him lift and deconstruct what was left, but once he’d gotten most of it, he walked over to the far wall, where the List usually was.

There, added right to the bottom of the ‘Things That Make Bruce Hulk Out’ was a new entry:

Not valuing your life as much as I do.

Journal Entry #43: Work-Life Balance

[🔮Occult Legacy Challenge - Generation 1 Diaries🔮]

I had a hard time putting Nebulon to sleep last night, so work became a little more challenging today with my limited brain power. As I reviewed my emails and my daily work tasks, my head began to throb.

Since having Nebulon, work has been slightly less engaging for me. As a Ufologist, it is expected that I continue my research in making contact with aliens; however, I'm more paranoid now than ever. These aliens have more psychic powers than we understand. There is also the chance they could take Neb away from me. I couldn't handle that.

Loki Beaker is still my Lab supervisor. He's been ordering me to calibrate the Electroflux Wormhole Generator and encouraging me to run experiments on Neb to learn more about his alien powers. I really don't want to treat Neb like a lab experiment, but Loki has been very persistent about studying my son. His lack of concern for my son's well-being makes me concerned. What kind of experiments is he running on his own son, Nervous Subject?

I asked Pascal for advice. His infant alien-hybrid son Tycho was soon to be a toddler. We swapped milestones and Pascal had some great tips for taking care of Nebulon. He also suggested I join him this weekend for a family BBQ at his sister's.

A Guide to Troubleshooting Common Chemistry Laboratory Equipment Issues

Chemistry laboratory equipment is essential in educational, industrial, and research environments for scientists and students to be able to conduct experiments, analyze materials, and collect data. To achieve this purpose on a day-to-day basis it is important to work with professional chemistry laboratory equipment manufacturers and suppliers in China who can supply tools and components of high quality. However, despite their strength, even the best equipment has operational problems after some time. If equipment malfunctions, it is often easy to repair, or it may simply make disassembly slower, thus knowing how to overcome those situations increases the functionality of the equipment while averting possible hazards in the laboratory. In this blog, we mentioned a few common Chemistry laboratory equipment issues and how to resolve them.

Troubleshooting Common Chemistry Laboratory Equipment Issues

In this section, we examine and elaborate on seven general difficulties with chemistry laboratory equipment and how they can be addressed:

Inaccurate Measurements

Another basic error to note is that of a wrong measurement which might be due to calibration, setup, or dimensions. First, if portable balances or pipettes translate to disparities, then undertake equipment recalibration according to the guidelines of the chemistry laboratory equipment manufacturers in China. Furthermore, check whether the equipment is placed on a steady platform, devoid of unwanted effects such as quakes or airflows.

Test Equipment Consistent Temperature Maintenance

It is acceptable to have a situation in which hot plates, water baths, and bunsen burners do not maintain a specific temperature, which may result from various factors like broken thermostats, a fault in electrical connections, or deterioration of the heating elements. Such parts must be periodically checked, cleaned, and serviced to replace damaged ones and seek contact troubleshooting on connections.

Easily Breaking or Cracking Laboratory Glassware

For some types of glassware in the laboratory, including beakers and test tubes, bending or cracking is very likely to happen if mistreatment or inappropriate temperatures is applied. Maintain glassware at a predetermined temperature that it is designed to withstand, avoid placing glassware in extreme temperatures, and secure it in a suitable location.

Anomalously Propagated Responses in Chemical Analyzers

In cases regarding chemistry analyzers such as titrators, if the reactions appear to progress slower than normal, or if they seem to be weak, then the reason for that could be unnecessary or dirtied internal tubes. The upkeep of these components can be beneficial since nothihigh-purityng leftover that might interfere with the results can remain in the tubes by using high purity chemical reagents.

Inconsistency In Data Output Of Spectrophotometers

Spectrophotometers may require proper maintenance and upgrading as they begin to produce insufficient readings or show significant degradation. Dusting off the lenses and sample cells might also be the solution for this issue. To avoid any errors, change the light source whenever the equipment maintenance schedule alerts you, and ensure that the optical elements are regularly checked and cleaned.

Gas Supply is Inferior

The flaming output of the Bunsen burner can often be affected by choked gas supply lines or low gas pressure. Cleaning the gas line of the burner and adjusting the gas valve further increases the flow. Also, check that there are not any gaps between the tubes or the connections.

pH Meter And Other Electrical Devices

pH meters should consistently return accurate results and exhibit no electrical problems although this may not always be the case. It is not uncommon to find that the reason underlying this issue is either a weak battery, loose connections, or some internal circuitry problems. Hence it is essential to regularly check power sources, tighten loose connections, and ensure batteries and other mechanical parts are functional.

Significance of Maintaining Chemistry Laboratory Equipment

It is important to Troubleshoot chemistry laboratory equipment issues for several reasons. First, it helps to guarantee the precision and dependability of the experimental outcomes, which is of great importance in research and teaching practices. Faulty equipment not only results in wrong data but may also cause a waste of precious resources and time. In addition, proper equipment functioning increases safety in the lab, minimizing the chances of accidents or mishaps of equipment or injuries to people or the work being done. Moreover, Works Standard Operating Procedures and Maintenances in timed intervals extend the life span of the equipment making it an economical approach for the laboratories which are seeking to optimize their investments.

Essential Chemistry Laboratory Equipment and Solutions to Common Issues

In chemistry, different types of chemistry laboratory equipment perform different functions and they have their own unique set of troubleshooting procedures:

Analytical Balances

Wipe off leftovers on the balance after every use, and if the balance is regularly used, recalibrate it every week so that no calibration problems are experienced. 

Bunsen Burners

Unsatisfactory flames apart from fluctuations in the adjusted valve could be solved by regularly cleaning the burner and the uninterrupted flow of gas to the burner. 

Pipettes

In order to fix any inaccuracies in the pipettes their seals need to be changed and then recalibrated. Starters also clean the pips after each session to avoid any blocking in the device itself.

According to Wikipedia, To make sure the equipment is operating as intended and in accordance with the established regimens or work guidelines, pipette calibration is crucial. Because there are numerous components of the calibration process, multiple alternatives for the calibration technique, and different pipette types and models to take into account, pipette calibration is regarded as a complicated matter.

Spectrophotometers

It is necessary to wipe the lenses and sample holders on a frequent basis in order to eliminate data errors. Light bulbs should also be replaced at regular intervals.

pH Meters

In case of erratic readings, check that the electrode is exercised on a daily basis and cleaned as well as recalibrated. Also, check the batteries or power sources.

Water Baths

Temperature control problems could be addressed by prudent maintenance of thermostats and heaters and rather ensuring the water bath is clean from mineral deposits.

Chemical Analyzers

The problems of clogging and contamination could be resolved effectively by constantly using clean reagents and more regular flushing of the system to clear residues.

By attending to these maintenance services, laboratories can circumvent uncalled-for interruptions and also be able to sustain a high level of operability of all the equipment.

Laboratory incidents interfere with research work as well as endangering the safety and health of the people carrying out the work. Partnering with reputable and reliable Laboratory Equipment manufacturers and suppliers in Ambala is very important in maintaining quality and safety standards. In this blog, we will include 5 common laboratory equipment mishaps and we can avoid them.

Common Laboratory Equipment Mishaps and How to Avoid Them

Improper Calibration

It is necessary to routinely check the calibration of the pipettes and microscopes to ensure accuracy and reliability of results. Lack of calibration would result in having varied data and resources being squandered. To avoid this, calibrate regularly and document for easy reference. Regular calibration checks would be able to help make sure that the equipment is functioning properly.

Inappropriate Storage

To avoid breakage and maintain usability, laboratory equipment including laboratory glassware and delicate items should be appropriately stored. It is also possible to cause damage or contamination through inappropriate usage or storage practices. For example, glass beakers can be placed in specific storage racks and cabinets, while electronic equipment can be stored in cabinets to keep dust and moisture out.

Overheating Equipment

Overheating occurs frequently on devices such as hot plates and bunsen burners, which could cause burns, fires or damage to the equipment itself. Therefore, procedures like monitoring the temperature settings, ensuring circuits are not overloaded, and letting the machines rest between uses needs to be practiced. Furthermore, following proper guidelines issued by the Laboratory Equipment manufacturers for use and handling is essential too.

Equipment Contamination

Contamination of laboratory equipment like micropipettes and test tubes can alter the outcomes of research and render them unreliable. This is even more critical in biological and chemical laboratories as even background contamination could compromise experiments. Use equipment such as test tubes for the given purpose only and clean and sterilize them every time they are used so as to avoid cross-contamination.

Lack of Training and Awareness

The absence of training makes a significant contribution for many laboratory accidents. In the absence of proper guidance, users might misuse some of the instruments leading to breakages, injuries as well as wrong data. An organized approach of regular training about equipment handling, safety measures and correct techniques can minimize accidents and confidence on every person is boosted.

Essential Laboratory Equipment

Microscope

Widely employed in laboratories of biology and medicine, a microscope enables examination of the material structure on a cellular level. Its maintenance concerning calibration and storage guarantees its accuracy and durability.

According to Wikipedia, A microscope is a piece of equipment used in laboratories to study items that are too small to be seen with the human eye. The science of using a microscope to examine small objects and structures is known as microscopy. To be microscopic is to be undetectable to the naked eye without the use of a microscope.

Bunsen Burner

These apparatus are widely used in the heating and disinfection of various things in a number of chemistry laboratories. It should be treated with care to avoid accidents, and users must use the burner correctly and avoid excessive heat.
