what's that for?

只是個shaker而已！為什麼名字要取得這麼怪！

is that for eppendorfs?

i thought it was a sonicator at first... Orz

meteoryl: nono.. just an ordinary bench-top shaker... for shaking like solutions in a dish (westerns) etc...

because in that way, they can overcharge...like calling salt "sodium chloride" and they charge extra 100 bucks

weihsiah: yeah... i think that's why too... meh~ making it sound all scientific...

i remember one of the old labs used an old cassette player (or video player) and attached a platform on that... and used that as a shaker!

it's just good business

MY BAD!! this turned out to be a platform for the microscope! so that justified it costing a lot and having a scientific sounding name~ Orz

That make sense if that's a platform....The 3 confocal-microscope of our lab all accompany with expensive platforms

it wasn't for our lab exclusively. and our lab manager's on holidays so we had thought he'd bought that to replace the shaker that broke

it's not til the postdoc saw it that we found out what it was... silly me... >.<

weihsiah: your lab has 3 confocal microscope!!! that's luxury...

meteoryl: Ya but we open to all other labs as long as they're trained by our confocal manager, so 3 of them seems not enough

People have to use them in weird time like 12:00 a.m. because daytime are over-booked

workoholics!! O.O

yes they are, hopefully not me in the future...

weihsiah: i could understand that~ confocal is easily to be over-booked!
