- Hey, look, it's sample 3 of 50 in an overnight run. Time to quit.
- I'm running out of mobile phase, dummy.
- You need some key data? I want to talk about the pressure on this column. Who do you think's going to win this conversation?
- Would you quit cycling the carousels and just empty out all the old evaporated vials?
- I've seen you looking at that Agilent tramp. You'll quit it if you know what's good for you.
- I love the look on your face when you're seeing if there's another peak... and look, there it is!
- You think that muck's got your product in it? Dream on.
- Prayer won't get you a stable baseline, buddy.
- I'm making a funny noise so you'll PAY ATTENTION TO ME. Dammit, it never works.
- Did you syringe filter your sample? Oh, you're so sweet.

- ...And I'm out of mobile phase. Oh, well, guess I'll take a nap!

ReplyDelete16) Now for even more pain let's connect to the MS Detector
ReplyDeleteDo you really think more theoretical plates will resolve that? I pressurize in your general direction!
ReplyDeleteStop using me so much and just run a normal phase column...not everything needs to be separated via HPLC. Give me a break and use the peasant Isco over there.
ReplyDeleteHey, you know the nitrogen gauge on the ELSD that you've been ignoring? It's on empty, now!
