So in essence, the machine does it all and you do very little?
Haha, don't worry.That wasn’t meant as a slam or a setup.
Without the machine it wouldn't be possible to test the stuff at all.
To just turn on the machine and 'run' a sample, you can be schooled to do that in a day and in most laboratories it is done by people with only secondary education.
To develop a good method (ie. teach the machine HOW to do it), maintain it and actually be able to verify it still does its job properly, it requires exceptional skill that even many PhDs in the field lack.
To break it down into time requirements, I spend about 5-15 minutes with each sample and the sample is in the machine for half an hour.
However with the few troublesome samples, it happens that I spend an hour with them.
Method development takes anywhere from hour to weeks.
Right?What's your other handle here
His self-righteousness and belief he's smarter than others in his own stupidity is reminding me of someone.
