Death Valley Days: The Impact of Dry Heat on Laboratory Data (Extreme Pipetting Expedition #3)

As the ARTEL Extreme Pipetting Expedition team set out for Mission #3, only one thing was certain — it was about to get much hotter. Heading to Death Valley National Park in the desert spanning Nevada and California, the Expedition’s goal was to test the effect of dry heat on pipetted volumes. As the sun beat down and the temperature rose, the cold temperatures of Mt. Washington (Mission #1) and the mild climate at Yellowstone National Park (Mission #2) seemed like distant memories to the Expedition team…

Extreme Pipetting: An Issue of Mountainous Proportions Understanding Barometric Pressure’s Effect on Data Integrity (part 1)

One cold day in early winter, a group of scientists prepared to trek to the top of Mount Washington, the highest peak in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. At an elevation of 6,288 feet, this mountain is known as the “home of the world’s worst weather.” Clocking the globe’s highest recorded surface wind speed of 231 miles per hour, an average year-round temperature that is below freezing, and 21 feet of snow per year, Mount Washington is no paradise. Despite these extremes, ARTEL scientists loaded their equipment and prepared for the three-hour journey to the summit…
