Sooooooooo close now

I just finished running my "last" set of columns!!!  I say "last" because I finished running all the "important" samples today.  When I get back from the wedding I'll have a couple of samples to run, just to clarify some points that I already suspect.

This is very exciting!  Here's a photo of the final product

To my knowledge this is the most columns that have been run at once in our lab at BU.  These take about 10 hours each to run from set up to finish, but luckily we can run them simultaneously rather than in sequence!  The second and third rows (red and yellow caps) hold the culmination of the last two years of my work and life.  In the next few days we'll find out how well things go and if it has all been worth it (all signs point to yes from some earlier data).

I'm tired now though, 15 hours in the labs is a long time.  Same again tomorrow?  Maybe.  At least it won't be running columns though!!!
