Here's a cartoon I submitted to LCGC Europe magazine. The must read publication for anyone who's anyone in Gas or Liquid Chromatography. I must apologise for it being ever so slightly in-jokey but just in case you were wondering:
ECD is the electron capture detector, invented by everyones favourite smartarse James Lovelock. An incredibly sensitive detector for measuring pesticides and other electron grabbing compounds.
FID is the flame ionisation detector. A robust and effective general burny detector.
In the final frame I've depicted the HP5890 Gas Chromatograph. A real workhorse that some have likened using it to a religious experience.
If you don't find chromatography hilarious (and why would any sane person not?) you will be in agreement with LCGC magazine, who turned down my submission.
Here it is again in colour, with overzealous use of the burn tool.
Links don't work. Tired. Will sort tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThey obviously have no sense of humour! Who doesn't find an owl nesting in a GC funny?! Unsure if I prefer the black and white or colour; both good.
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer the B&W, I see the colour as a fun little sideline.
ReplyDeleteSigh, I can't get these links to work. Never mind. I must be doing something really simple wrong. I'm going to give up on this one tho.
This is probably my favourite ever cartoon strip featuring the HP5890 Gas Chromatograph.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd be a HP5890 man Rob, good egg.
