#thank you for appreciating my labposting haha

[geneticcatalyst]

I would like you to know that I adore your top 5 lab equipment post. I first read it and my immediate reaction was “this motherfucker gets me (affectionately).” I was thinking about the post again last night during my shift (I work in veterinary medicine but I was a biology major for school) and I literally started ranting about how fucking awesome micropipettes are. I think my coworkers think I’m a little insane, but what is new.

Personally, the only thing I would change on the top 5 lab equipment would be the spectrophotometer bc I have not used that much at all. My replacement for that one for top 5 would be electrophoresis gel, but that’s just from my experience.

Sorry for the random message, but I want you to know how much that post delights me

oh!! we are siblings in arms!! yes yes yes big pipette feelings here. like I said my background was in a research lab where I did a lot of gel electrophoresis and I still love and miss it, I'm actually jealous you get to do it on the regular! Ive since gone corporate and work in a very high throughput production genotyping lab where we rely mostly on digital PCR so the spectro/fluorometry was a nod to both PCR readers and the good old fashioned Nanodrop (my beloved). so yes You Get Me and you're so valid for liking gels and also its awesome that you work in vet med! I'm in ag but I've always vibed with veterinary people y'all are cool.
