HMMMM Comming Attractions to my blog:
Caller: Hello...I am a Chemist with...and I need help with my calibration curve?
Tech: OK...what s the problem
Caller: I made my standards and my R^2 is only .92 when I do a linear fit...
Tech: What is your range?
Caller: Huh?
Tech: The range of your standards...the lowest and the highest, what is it
Caller: 32 picomoles to 1200 picomoles....
linear function does not fit the data..ri
Caller: And my signal is almost half what it was 2 years ag...so I need help with that too..
OMG..is he joking...better the signal is less....he would be in the cubic range...
Tech: What is the range of your samples?
Caller: 50 to 500
OK then why the hell are you going to 1200 picomoles....OMG this is unbelievable
NEXT:
Caller: Hi...my name is....and I need help with my calibration curve...
HHHMMMM WTF we have an epidemic here....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tech: OK what seems to be the problem?
Caller: Well I made all my standards...and I cannot find where my sample lies...
Tech: How many points on the curve?
Caller: 157
ONL:Y 157....OMG that is not a curve...that is a pearl necklace....I mean...AAAAHHHHHHH someone Please explain to me why this guy would do such a thing....
NEXT:
Caller: Hi I am a chemist with....and I need help with my standard curve....
OK said std curve...may she knows something....let me not jump the gun here....
Tech: Ma'am...what is wrng with the curve?
Caller: I have to use a linear fit and I cannot make the line fit.
Tech: Ma'am, what is the range on your standards?
Caller: Well, OK....I go from 0 to 10,000 ppm..
OMG....WTF is she thinking..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 to 10,000 ppm and she is forcing the function...Wait I bet I got this one nailed...there is more...I know there is even more..!!!!!!
Tech: Ma'am are you using offset?
Caller: Yes....
Tech: How many injections per standard?
Caller: 1
OH HELP ME ...I am ging to e her for an hour....Who the hell I mean how the hell.....I mean OMG I cannot even think anymore...I cannot believe....GEEEEZZZZZEEEEEEE
NEXT:
Caller: Hi...I am a Chemist with...and my calibration won't work
OH SURE IT WILL IF WE REPLACE THE INTERFACE.....nothing wrong with the curve...it is the connection between the chair and the panel....
Tech: So what is the problem sir?
Caller: My data will not work with a linear fit...but if I use the quartic fit...it looks just great...so can you explain this...because I will have to justify it in my report....
OH well...good luck with that....that is just the end....THE QUARTIC FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....he had to dig deep for that one...QUARTIC FIT...hmmmm the quantum effect of ions...this is just amazing stuff...In my whole life....I cannot even begin to understand what you have done....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry Later...BYE...I am out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Chemist...and I am going where all good Chemists go!!!!!!!!!! As Far away from you as I can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
