Tuesday, August 16, 2005Bonus Tuesday Twat AwardBio-Rad (and my clumsiness)A new second Twat posted because I am in a fucking foul mood. Utterly irrelevant to those of you who work outside a lab - however, I have just torn the PFGE gel that I was supposed to start blotting this evening. The Bio-Rad system that we use has completely different sized casting trays to all of our other gel systems, however the PFGE system is entirely Ethidium Bromide free, meaning that I have to transfer it into a plastic container for staining. 1% low-melting point agarose. Slippery, slimy and weaker than the dodgy dossier. I lifted it out of the staining tank - and rip. Right through the sample area. Not a chance in hell of repairing it. Translation - I have just lost 4 days of unpaid work, through nothing but a tiny and almost inevitable slip of my gloved fingers. Bollocks buggery cunt!!!!!! Labels: The Tuesday Twat(s) |
