What bad day?

Good news. I got out of work earlier than I was thinking I'd would.

Bad news. It's because I had to throw seven hours of bench work in the autoclave bag.

Boss decided that it wasn't worth risking clogging the sexy expensive sorter. Especially since I know that my cell count is way off. He was trying to tell me it's the media killing crap.

"Uhh, no. This has been a problem since December. We've even used a new lot of FBS since then."

"We have a lot of data that you shouldn't be getting that crap."

"From five days?"

"Yes."

I tried hard not to sneeze "bulls**t". I'll go back, but there's no useful lymphoycte data that you get if you're trying to study MATURE lymphocytes at 5 days. I'm not looking for mature lymphocytes, so that's okay.

But he did give me permission to treat with NH4Cl
