This week Maria started to analyze the huge amount of samples on the GC-MS. Since the 350 samples also needed to be modified before analysis, this meant Maria has been sitting pipetting for three hours a day this week - a hard time for her thumb.
Except some adjustments of the instrument during day two, the GC-MS instrument was running for 105 hours in a row starting Tuesday lunch. To be sure the instrument didn't stop working or a samples missed to be injected, a late check in the evening is a advantage. So around 10 pm Maria and Olle (thanks for the company!) biked to work, just to notice everything worked as it should. Saturday evening/night we both were glad the GC-MS run was over - it had been long days and not much of spare time this week (but time for exercise at IKSU in between working hours).
As usual the data analysis will take longer time then the data collecting. So Maria knows what she's doing the next month(s) or so. Doesn't help when you should use new programs and are not familiar with statistical analysis.
