#2nd one is the analyte #one spot matches the 1st compound and that turned out to be correct #but what's that second smear though 🤨#my extremely plausible guess is that the guy who ‘accidentally’ switched our samples spat into the one i ended up working on #to accumulate enough nicotine in his saliva he must've spent the entire morning chain smoking #i can't think of any better explanation rn so i'm just going to pretend this is exactly what happened #lab life #toxicology #TLC #analysis #chemblr #pharmblr #horror
