Lazy ttm

ahh i am so lazy to do the top 10 thingy!
shall postpone till further notice -.-
didn't know why i got the motivation to do my top 10 for kpop and not for this
guess must be attachment making me lazy, lolol

this week quite nothing much to do, only repeating my experiments with different starting materials
so whenever i have free time i will go around and help my friends with their experiments
and also washing, i can't stand the cluttering of apparatus at the sink area x.x
from all this running around, i learnt quite a lot of things which make it easier if i need to conduct experiments with similar set-up

anyway shall show you all the apparatus that we normally use in labs~

Chromatography column

this size is quite small already, i think there are like columns 5 times this size in the lab

which is very stressful to handle cause scared they break during washing -.-

anyway this is used to separate the different components in a mixture after a reaction

shall not rant about the details in case people start falling asleep

Rotaevaporator

this is used to evaporate solvents used when dissolving our mixtures/product

Separatory funnel

this is one which i use quite commonly, and is the one i broke 2 of it -.-

am extremely scared to wash this and use extra extra care when i wash it now

be careful of the tip, very fragile lolol

this is used to separate 2 layers which do not mix

simple example: oil and water

i guess that's all cause the other apparatus i don't really use so shall not talk about them

and my pay just came in yesterday, yay!
