This morning Nicole and I went to the basement in Building 76 to clean the NMR tubes for Jenn. However, there was no more 18 mega-ohm water so we had to take trek over to Building 8 to fill up the big water container. When we got back, we cleaned about 10 tubes and then we ran out of Hydrochloric Acid.... so Dr. Hornak walked back over to Building 8 with us to get some from the stock room. Since it was about 11 at this time, we decided to stay over in Building 8 since we had NMR time at 11:20.
So this was our first time measuring samples in the NMR without anyone to help us... and luckily everything went smoothly. We decided to each do half, so I did the first 5. By the time we
finished the samples, it was time for the lunch talks and free pizza. The Ultrasound lab was doing their presentation today and they used 5 screens to do it... that was a little confusing... a regular PowerPoint would have been just as good.
Then after that, we cleaned the rest of the NMR tubes. At 3:40 we went back to Building 8 because we had more NMR time. This time, Nicole started to do her 5 samples but ran into some problems and therefore didn't finish. So tomorrow, we will wrap that and start a new round of samples :)
