Nearly 20 years old GCMS brought back to life @Richmond_Sci #Sustainability
Water’s torpedo fixed 🔧 - designing a liquid pump with a main electronics board directly underneath maybe not best idea
Some old school chromatography/pump fixing today #Sustainability @Richmond_Sci
Sometimes more trouble finding the PC 🖥😬. TBF I love those old operating systems 😂
We’ll always supply the software (even if it’s a floppy disk) with your refurbished #hplc. #Sustainability #OrganicChemistry
Great demo day @OPALlandegla. Top marks to Forbidden Druid. Often new tech is more marketing guff than substance but their Trifecta suspension with high pivot and idler was awesome 😎. Great on the ups as well as the downs

Our resident HPLC wizard has been back in fettling with your old machines to refurbish and restore them into new usable systems.
Who knows what applications this machine will be set up for?

Just re-designed my poster "Our steps to safer, more sustainable labs" to be put in labs. I think it's a good time to include some "good GREEN lab practice" tips into a lab induction for all new lab students. @UniRdg_TechServ @technicians_mih

I made this figure out of my fascination with protein architectures. I call it "Molecular Machinery of Life." Thought to share it with you to enjoy your eyes. Can you detect, by heart, the Nobel Prize-Winning structures? @AcademicChatter #AcademicTwitter
Actual grass inside bottom bracket shell 🌱😂. Thank you @iamspecialized for the genius effort of coming up with the complex, but totally ineffective rubber seal thingy 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️. @Hopetech bottom bracket incoming - won’t help the plant incursions but should last a bit longer 🤞🏻
🚨Red light error on your degasser? 🚨 Often vacuum pump chambers are blocked - maybe result of ancient spillage. Easy , zero cost fix and back working in no time @Richmond_Sci #Sustainability
A break from fettling last weekend with a wet and windy break in the Lakes #LakeDistrict
Thermostatted column compartment brought back to life a day before its 20th birthday 🎂😂. Here’s to many more years chromatographic service 👍🏻 @Richmond_Sci #Sustainability #hplc
Ever wanted to know what was inside that degasser? Seized motor unseized @Richmond_Sci #sustainable
Spot the difference....
Apart from the colour 🧪
These fraction collectors are probably 10+ years apart. Great parts commonality. #Sustainability @Richmond_Sci

Happy Friday Lab Cats... 😸
We have made some significant reductions on some of the top end devices in the Richmond warehouse this week, including a couple of lovely lab freezers - we know you can never have too much cold storage!
