I define words as real if they could be used in scrabble. Who the fuck wouldn’t challenge allylic in scramble?

GC was the easiest lab ever and we got to use a very expensive needle. Fuck you

#17772

did you perhaps introduce the sample via syringe through a rubber septum

did you use a thermal conductivity detector or flame ionization (more sensitive to hydrocarbons in the analyte)

Yeah and all the wording inthe instruction document was weirdly suggestive

#17775

did you use a mass spectrometer as the detector? if not, i’m afraid your gas chromatography lab wasn’t quite the gold standard in forensic analysis of mixtures

#17776

Thermal conductivity babyyyy

#17777

did you purge it properly or did you get ghost peaks

#17778

the electron capture variant of gas chromatography often uses nickel-63 beta radiation apparently (giving my students radiation poisoning in the lab)

We purged it properly. Sometimes we fucked up and got no peaks but that was the GC being kind of weird and spotty generally

#17780

did you use column packing or an adsorbed liquid as the stationary phase
