Notice all the equipment moved away from the walls, and of course they arrowed the (lowly) staff to do most of the work...
notice the new paint? Well, its of the same colour as the old, only no noticable dirt marks now.
The main corridor will be last, and the lab will be pink. Yes, you heard me right, PINK! Will upload pictures once it gets painted this weekend. Muahahahah....
Besides renewing the old paint job, we got new fridges. But first got to get rid of the old. These two will be shipped to some underdeveloped third world country for resale I guess. Its still in good working order but according to the HOD, we cant have so many fridges all over the place, got to cut down on floor area per lab. So there goes the fridge and there goes the fridge space to stick all the photos...Wonder where the pics are now... btw, the red line means: doomed to die.
The new fridges came in. only -18C min and it is autodefrost, so no RNA or antibody or protein or anything important storage. And they are so short. Shorter than the old standing -20 we have. Quite useless machines IMHO.
Rip it open boys!
Got to let them stand around for one day to get used to the big -80 bullies around the heavy equipment area, then only can on. Else they freak out and die on the spot. Hahahah...okok joking. But fridges have to stand for soem time before you on them because the refrigerant in the compressor has to settle down after the transportation. If not, the lifespan of the machine is much reduced.
Oh, and remember the old shaking incubators that got thrown out? To replace them, the department bought 3 new ones!!! Exactly like the one lab has, only its for public use. They are waiting for the whole place to be painted first before unveiling the bubble wrap.
There should be more changes comming this way in the next weeks and months. Stay tuned!
