Chapter 254: A Visit to the Laboratory for First Impressions

"Hello everyone, according to the decision of the school, I will take over the laboratory left by the original Professor Andrei Ivanov, you should have been notified, right?" On the first day of February, Junxin came to the original laboratory of Professor Ivanov, which of course has now become his.

"Hello, Mr. Jun, we have received a notice from the school and you that everyone will welcome you in the laboratory at half past nine in the morning, but are you a little early? I knew it was only half past eight, and there was still an hour before the appointed time! An older man next to him stood up and walked towards Junxin as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, because my willful decision seems to have caused you a little trouble!" Junxin, who knows that foreign countries value time very much, said a little embarrassed at this time.

"Hehe, you're welcome!" The man smiled and said, "My name is Nat, Ilya Nat, and I am currently the laboratory director of this laboratory, do you have any orders?" ”

Nat is also relatively old, at least three or four rounds older than Junxin, close to sixty years old, so seeing him so polite to himself, I really feel a little uncomfortable. However, Junxin also knew that this was probably the reason why he had been greeted by the school before he came over, so although he was not comfortable, he accepted it relatively calmly.

"The reason I came here early is that I want to take some time to get to know the laboratory, if you don't have anything to do, take me to see it, and learn about the various equipment in the laboratory and the projects that each research group is doing, okay?" Junxin politely consulted Professor Nat for his opinion.

I saw that Nat was a little hesitant on his face, and then said after a while: "I'm really sorry, because I have to receive you to come over for inspection today, so it will take about an hour or so, so today's task is a little nervous, so I have some things to deal with now, and I really can't leave for a while, you see..."

Junxin shook his head and said, "In that case, then I'll just go and see it myself, give me the SOP file for the operation of the laboratory instruments, and I'll go to the laboratory to take a look." The time of the gathering remains the same, gather in the laboratory at half past nine, and talk about it then! ”

Professor Nat nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let them know via internal phone." After speaking, he found the SOP documents that Junxin needed in the dense documents on his desk, and handed them all to Junxin without looking at them.

Junxin took the document from Professor Nat, and without saying anything, he turned and left the office and walked towards the laboratory.

Junxin's laboratory is relatively large, occupying half a floor of space. Near the gate is the corresponding office of the laboratory, which is about twenty-five square meters according to Junxin's visual inspection. Opposite the office is the large laboratory, which can be regarded as a public laboratory, which is separated by a conventional experimental operation platform, and the innermost part of the public laboratory is the cell room and virus room with glass compartments. Out of the back door of the laboratory, walking inside, leaning on the public laboratory is the precision instrument laboratory, Junxin did not walk in, just leaned against the glass to look inside, not bad, four Pu Yixian (pop, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and microscope) is very complete.

On the opposite side of the precision instrument laboratory is a place where some large ordinary experimental instruments or glass instruments are placed. The room between the general instrument laboratory and the office is a refrigerator and freezer where samples are kept, and various types of refrigerators and liquid nitrogen tanks can be found here.

At the end of the aisle, there are two corresponding laboratories with equipment such as sterilizers and ovens, and opposite are places where garbage is stored.

In general, the arrangement of the whole laboratory is relatively complete, at least Professor Ivanov has done a very good job in the construction of the laboratory, whether it is the arrangement of instruments or the laboratory, it seems very reasonable, and the only place that Junxin criticizes is the storage place of reagent consumables. Due to the location of the space, Professor Ivanov did not set up a separate warehouse, but just stuffed all the consumables under the experimental cabinet, and the drugs were only placed in two explosion-proof cabinets in the laboratory for a simple placement, which seemed a little too random.

In so many years of scientific research, although Junxin is engaged in theoretical research, especially the theoretical research of physics, so there are relatively few experiments involved, and even if there is, they are all large-scale high-energy particle collision experiments in physics, which are completely different from biological experiments.

Fortunately, he finally remembered that no matter what kind of experiment, he could never do without the help of reagents and experimental instruments, so he didn't look at the others first, but directly observed the instrument. For a person who has never done biological experiments again, if it weren't for the SOP standard operating procedures for the operation of various instruments, even Junxin would not know what many instruments are used for, such as flow cytometers. If it weren't for its operation process and method, Junxin would really think that this thing was a device that turned cells into a liquid state. As a result, Junxin knew that this was a device that distinguished cells in different states of life forms through certain functions.

However, what interests Junxin the most should be the five most important instruments in this laboratory. In fact, the principles of these five instruments, except for chromatography, are all designed on the basis of physical principles.

Any laboratory that wants to become bigger and stronger and do a good job in experiments, Sipu Yixian is almost a necessary instrument. This is especially true in biology and medical laboratories. Whether it is the analysis of unknown substances, the isolation of certain substances of purification reagents, or the preparation of certain substances, these instruments have their own value and use, and have almost become the backbone of laboratory development.

Of course, these four instruments only play a basic role more often, but the greater role is to combine them differently in order to exert greater effects. And these, such as Junxin when conducting quasi-crystal experiments, is to combine the microscope and the spectrum to get the effect they want.

After a cursory look at the laboratory, Junxin changed into a clean experimental overalls and came to the public laboratory, which was almost half past nine, and it was time for Junxin to hold a laboratory group meeting for the first time.
