Ok skanks.. I am an honours/post grad student that was willing to test year long.. Was, I say as I had tried to get a testing regime working from about the start of my project in March/April. I emailed Johnboy at the start of my project outlining my 24hr access to a GC among other things at a uni in Syd….
.... well times goes on and i'm now at the end of my project and with that comes the end of my access.. damn shame that nothing was done sooner hey?
Adding to this info was that a 3rd year chem student was actually doing a project on amphetamines and testing the quality of stuff on the street. I had the chance to be testing speed and more importantly this doc was after some pills and speed to test. As I was busy with my own work it was hard to run around doing all the footwork, but I was sure people out there would help with gathering samples. I sent off an email to Johnboy again.. for advice as it is a touchy subject, telling him of this new situation, and got no feedback on it.
So that is the past and here is now… I can try to check out the situation and see if anything can be tested again. As the 3rd yr project students have finished that guy is not running his project so chances have it that the column has been changed, or for my knowledge could have been roasted by the end of his work meaning a new one would need to be bought. Columns cost a bit.. ranging in cost from I dunno about $400 upwards.
If testing is out of the question I’ll see if I can get the methodology of his work, it would be interesting to see what standards and what peaks mean what on the printout. I’m wrapping up my own work, so it will be hard to have a sit down with him for the next few weeks, with exams approaching for other students it’s not so good either.
As soon as all that is out of the way I’ll be onto it. Maybe with holidays we could be lucky with certain people turning their backs… As for how much of a pill you would need to test, it’s not as much as a half.. mere shavings are pretty much all that you need.
Maybe we should just rock up to the next government auction at CSIRO and throw in a bid for our own GC… hehehehe. I have a big garage…
