Quick Science Meeting
- Noted that pucks seem to be 'denting' on top and leaving o-ring impressions. This was after JdF cruise. We need to do some forensics on where these impressions are coming from. Single o-ring may be concentrating force in middle of puck and 'denting'. (later discussions make this unlikely; Doug says Ti is too stiff, and only compression is of o-ring, then entire clamp face is holding puck.) Bill has measured some pucks, and found irregularities, but engineering does not think findings are significant.
- HAB/SHA testing (Elif)
- we are testing cultures for contamination
- Elif has created flow-charts for what needs to be done next (she will have child any day now...)
- She'll organize her standards and primers. Still working on specificity of primers.
- Bill and column testing
- has Global-FIA columns and wants to test various column material (silica vs. hydroxyapatite)
- CTD is ready for Drifter. Will clean deep CTD.
Will have a 'lessons learned' meeting in Sept, regarding flooding of ISUS.
