One of the reasons I haven't been posting as much lately is I've been busy building a new analytic chemistry lab. My primary client wants to add a new set of analytic services and I just didn't have the room for the new equipment in the old lab.
Here's the old lab for those of you that weren't around when I posted these years ago.

Here's the new lab. It's got windows!!! I can see what I'm doing. It also has heat, AC and space. I'm a happy camper!
The final piece of equipment is due in December. Next year I'll nearly double my work load. However, I'll have a couple of hard working robots (autosamplers) to help me so hopefully I don't end up working myself to death. I still need time to play my bass.
