Solubility

I am actually quite confused as to why my lipids didn't go completely into my 1:1 MeOH:EtOH solution.

Drying chamber

I also pretty sure that I need to dry out the solvents better. Unfortunately the pump we have is not designed to pump continuously when already at a "vacuum". So, I made a little "drying chamber" that allows me to pump in a low flow of nitrogen and at the same time pull a vacuum on it.

I would also like to add that the above image was my first "note" taken with Evernote. Yes, they do kick major awesome ass!

I think my favorite is the drying rack, which is nothing more than a pencil eraser with cut outs.
