Upping the ante. New kit

[snoman701]

I thought this was going to be a picture of a puppy. It's just cardboard boxes from a really expensive piece of awesome lab equipment.

You've got some splainin to do!!

His cat will be very happy anyway, with all those soon to be empty boxes to explore!

It’s two cats and they get everywhere including the lab given a chance :shock:

Aww...Jon has cats? We need pictures.

Well it's not a puppy Goran. OK for all those who can't use their imagination I've taken the lady's clothes off. 8)

and wow, is she stunning!

minus the reflection of the guy taking voyeur shots of her 'n all

i bet she smells like money, doesn't she?
:G :G :G

Nice- - I have an old Varian too but it got too expensive to repair and the parts were becoming so scarce it would take weeks to fix if anything went wrong.

Tell me you at least bought a good and precise balance to go with it!

Yeah I have Lou. No point introducing another range of errors into the system.

 

[Lou]

Of course you did, Jon.

For what you’re doing, I think you made a very wise decision.
Silver and gold it does great. I prefer AAS over ICP for single element measures especially with CN systems.

I couldn't help making this post, talking about upping the ante and whatnot. I think we got a few more boxes than Jon, too. 8)

Unfortunately this instrument will likely never be used for refining operations. Our lab [here at my day job] is focused on analytical food chemistry. It'll be a few more weeks probably before we get this uncrated and installed. Any guesses as to what it is? Hint: it's in the same vein as Jon's equipment above.

Hehe that's great

For food work have you got the autosampler addon and possibly the furnace?

Autosampler, yes. Not sure what you mean with the furnace though - sample prep or sample introduction? For sample prep we use microwave digestion. For sample introduction... it's a liiiiiiitttle bit hotter than a furnace

I went to Walmart this weekend and all i got was a microwave!

Me and really expensive equipment don't get along to well.
Especially when it's smarter than i am! :lol: :lol: :lol:

ICP. Nifty.

MGH what type of microwave do you use?

CEM MARS 5 with 55mL vessels in a 40 position rack.

 

[Lou]

Nice.

We are upgrading and either the new CEM or the more expensive but amazing Milestone

 

[MGH]

Milestone, interesting. I had to google them as I hadn't seen them before.

 

[anachronism]

Apples and pears. ICP is perfect for what you're doing and AAS is perfect for what I'm doing because of the different strengths and weaknesses of the two types of operation.

I bet you'll have a lot of fun getting to grips with it, I know I have.
