Biochemistry...

Today, the amount of time i spent in the Biochemisty lab was more than the amount of sleep that i had last night!!!

Usually, our lab sessions are 5 hours, kinda used to it already... BUT today...we spent 8 hours in the freaking lab!!! Even the class that we were suppose to have at 2pm was cancelled and was substituted by that lab....and the only break i had was my maggi mee lunch for about 20 minutes....

What were we doing, you might want to ask???

Purifying Lactate Dehydrogenase(LDH) by Affinity Chromatography...

let me put it in easier terms.....we cincang cincang the liver, then spin it down in the centrifuge(tu... that one you see in CSI), then run it through this thing so then it becomes more pure....to get that LDH.....

sigh....

If lab sessions are going to be this long...i might as well bring my blanket and pillow....since the lab is so cold and nice!

Wow.. that's a long time for a lab! I remembered doing one on centrifuge too! But it only lasted for 2 hours. :p
