Celebrate 𝗣𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗮 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 – December 13
Today we honor the “doctor of doctors” – the pathologists and coroners who quietly work behind the scenes to diagnose diseases, guide treatments, and investigate causes of death. Their expertise saves lives and brings clarity when it matters most.
Take a moment to appreciate their dedication and precision. Whether in labs or courtrooms, their work is critical to medicine and justice.
💡 𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁: Pathologists don’t just work on diseases; they study tissues, cells, and fluids to unlock medical mysteries that affect us all.
Show your appreciation: reach out to a pathologist or coroner today, share your thanks, or simply learn something new about this vital field.

#Methode: Wer Bakterien-RNA isoliert, kämpft gegen RNAsen und Zeitverlust. Zwei Mikrobiologen zeigen, wie man den Extraktionsklassiker mit saurem Phenol so tuned, dass mehr und sauberere RNA rauskommt – und das ohne teure Kits.

Lab Report #650: Output on these 6M LED curtain lights exceeded expectations! Our setup team (poor Derek got a bit tangled) noted excellent light distribution & 8 distinct modes. Hard to beat this quality at €24.03, half price! #LabLife #LEDLights

The equivalence point usually requires drop by drop precision
Lab Report #4357: The "3D Printed Banana Telescopic Sword" passed the fidget test with flying colors. The click is so satisfying! Mark almost poked out an eye during a "decompression" duel. Pretty sturdy for €57.81. #LabLife #BananaToy
Lab Report #9795: Aeration *slightly* better than aggressively swirling. Still made Mark spill Merlot. For €12.01 (was €23!)? Good deal for clumsy wine nights. 🍷 #WineTech #LabLife #Bargain
Finding #6979: Ran over Beaker the cat's discarded tuna can; didn't flinch. Kevin says it's "determination, not suction". €298.37. Further tests pending. #RobotVacuum #LabLife
Ende von fötalem Kälberserum? Team der Universitätsmedizin Greifswald entwickelt #Lyophilisat aus Spender-Thrombozyten: xenofrei, nachhaltig, GMP-ready! Hier im Artikel von Bettina Dupont weiterlesen: https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3384.php
#Methode: Effizientes Klonieren? Eine Frage der Koordination! Das Open-Source-Tool #CloneCoordinate, entwickelt vom Team um Ben Thuronyi (USA), ist eine Open-Source-Softweare für kollaborative DNA-Konstruktion.

Lab Report #9934: The anti-slip claim is legit. We had our intern Kevin try a running slide on it and he basically face-planted. The mat is fine. His dignity? Less so. A steal at over 50% off (€41.59).
When you hear the sound of breaking glass from around the corner and a hushed "oh no".
Anyone familiar with "non-absorbent" cotton in a lab context? I normally use regular cotton either as a filter aid or to seal the top of my dry load cartridges (prying out frits is a pain in the butt), can I use this in place of my usual stuff?
(I found two rolls of it, so I'd like to use it if possible rather than throw it away)
Test #6456: We 'trekked' this foam pad through the lab's notorious spill zone (Derek's desk). The waterproof claim held strong against a level 7 coffee flood. Then, it comfortably supported Lead Scientist Dr. Aris during his lunchtime contemplation next to a 'hiking backpack 40l'. Currently 54% OFF (€18.08)! 🏞️☕ #ProductTesting #LabLife #HikingGear
Test #9876: Probando el calentador de asiento para coche. Metí un pollo congelado. Descongelado en 23 minutos. Rendimiento: Excepcional. ¿Y la hausse csg capital? Me preocupa más el pollo caliente. €18.53 (8% OFF) 🔥 #CarTech #LabLife
LAB CHRONICLE #13
-High-speed Camera-
100,000 frames per second.
Result: blurry image
Conclusion: The camera hates me.

Lab Report #6767: The PCB is surprisingly waterproof after Kevin tried to actually brew tea in it. Again. The enamel didn't even chip. For $9.8 (was $20), it's a weirdly resilient device. We've confiscated his Earl Grey.
Lab Report #3592: Survived our weighted drop test. Kevin accidentally knocked it off the bench fully loaded and it didn't even crack. He's genuinely impressed. For $9.17, this thing is a beast. A solid pass from the lab. #CarStorage #LabLife
Lab Report #7417: Survived our 'toddler tantrum' simulation (i.e., we threw it at a wall). The lid stayed on, which is more than I can say for Brian's lunch container. An absolute steal for $41.51.
