Hi all, Just to update you on a few things that are going on in the lab this week. Tomorrow the clean labs will be closed for at least the morning while a new water pump is installed. After this the sinks and MQ unit will be operational once again. Tomorrow morning there is an electrical shutdown between 7am-8am. During this time Sophie and I will power down all of the instrument and bring them back online after the power is restored. Please note that there could be issues with teh instruments after power cycling them so bare with us. The same will happen next Monday night between 9-10pm. This means there could be issues on the Tuesday with the mass specs. The cooling unit for the AHU serving the clean labs and multi collector room remains broken. The part is on order and will be installed ASAP. During this time the temperature will be variable in this part of the lab. Any issues just shout.
