Centrifuge is up and runni…
Well, last week the centrifuge door failed to work after two washings with acetone. Today, we began washing our hydrogel again. We finished our third washing with acetone and began washing with water. We pulled the centrifuge tubes and noticed cracking. We are currently in the process of transferring our hydrogel from the cracked tube to a noncracked one. This is going to be the longest washing ever… just glad I don’t have to wash clothing like this at home.

I remember months and months wandering in the desert of dirty data when I was a grad student. When things did work, we would stay in the lab 24/7 until things stopped working again.
