Let's hear it for Analytical Instruments that only can be used by a specific few, and no one else can touch/use them!
Anyone?
No Huzzahs or "Hell Yeahs"?
Damn.
Yeah, I hate this too.
My lab had one HPLC, two GC's (one worked, the other didn't), and a GC/MS. The HPLC (and later a UPLC) was bought and paid for with a grant for a specific project. So once it was set up and running with optimal conditions, woe unto those that disturbed it. I wouldn't have been suprised if there was some sort of booby trap or password lock (for the computer) on the instrument.
The post doc that was on this project (not our friendly Russian one) was/is psychotic about it. Group meetings that she gave were "interesting." By interesting I mean slide after slide of graphs and charts. Keeping awake was a challenge to say the least.
