it is almost here

We have confirmation from the supplier that the Argon Gas, which is necessary to run our laser ablation system, will actually be delivered on 17 April, and the installation of the Laser is scheduled for the week of 20 April. So, just over 6.5 months after being hired to run the LA-ICP-MS lab, I will actually have a LA-ICP-MS to run!

It will be an interesting, and hopefully fun, change to my working life.

So, basically, the trip to the Known World Dance event in Germany will be the turning point--I will come back from that on 19 April, and the next day we will start installing the lab.
