Currently working on “The Curious Case of the Phantom TLC Spot”, better known within the scientific community as “What the Actual Fu Heck Ended Up in My Test Tube (Other Than What Was Supposed To)?”

#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 #spectroscopy
