SMP Attachment

I went to Singapore Polytechnic Block T11 yesterday and today for SMP attachment. Our projects is "relating HbA1c to personal profile", so at the lab, there was this rather awesome machine (D-10 HbA1c machine) which we used for our tests.

Wont go through the details but we pipetted real blood! That was rather cool seeing as normally in school we wouldn't be allowed to handle 'hazardous biological material'. Completed 140+ blood samples these two days. But we did not finish running the samples, thanks to the slowness of the machine (I mean from what I know, Ang Mo Kio Poly has 3 machines and experienced staff, yet they only process 200 samples a day)

Now here is me at work =)
