When practicals go wrong

J

Ok so I sent some samples off to an external lab, They have just come back unlabelled @£"$**stards. The whole experiment most likely has to be redone as these were taken at specific times.

Anyone else got horror stories of experiments gone wrong

P.S I should mention that I did blow up a chemistry lab at A-level and still have the burns to prove it :-)

It's usually my own darn stupidity that makes my experiments go wrong. I've a real talent for missing the obvious.

did you not keep any backup samples? what did the lab say, did they not keep any of the original sample , sorry if it isn't the sort of thing that you can keep parts of, I know sometimes the whole thing is used, but it isn't always the case. I hope you have been on to them and asked for an explanation - and a pint of their blood as a reward - not suggesting you are a vampire or anything- but you should get something for causing so much hassle.
