Today I spent my last day in the lab for a majority of the time which i loved. I started the morning aliquoting. Basically it’s taking a simple of a solution that was used in the trial and pipette a small sample around 2 ml and putting it in a small vile to keep while the containers used in the trial is sent off to the lab. I did this for all the trials used before they were sent to the lab. Afterwards I had time to finish up my mini project that was i doing this week, a powerpoint full of images to show the women in africa to explain and get their opinions and thoughts on the device. Then we went to lunch we talked about our weekend plans. Afterwards I went back to the lab and was taught how to properly dispose of non-regulated liquid waste, and then I helped dispose of a large amount of this waste. Lastly I pippetted some samples into a quartz dish with lots of little wells that would inserted into a device that uses UV spectroscopy to record the concentration of the drug in the solution that was released by the device placed in this solution to mimic a real person. Afterwards I debriefed with Dr. Rothrock about my week at RTI and showed/sent her my presentation that she would later use. I had an amazing week at RTI learning about what they do as a company, learning about the cool project that Dr. Rothrock and her team is working on, and getting to work in the labs! It was a fantastic experience.
