Labequipment Memes

Lab relationship insecurity at its finest. Your single-channel pipette vs. the multichannel she told you not to worry about. Nothing says "inadequacy in the lab" quite like watching someone process 8 samples simultaneously while you're still on your first. The multichannel doesn't just pipette faster—it pipettes with authority . Sure, your single channel has precision, but that multichannel has throughput that makes grad students weep with joy. Every lab tech knows the bitter truth: it's not about the technique, it's about how many samples you can process before the coffee runs out.

Scientists have rebranded their lab equipment with hilariously misleading names! Nitrile gloves become "hand saunas" (because your hands definitely sweat in those), pipettes transform into "piper bois" (they do go boop when you press them), micropipette tips are now "piper boi hats" (fashion!), vortex mixers are "vibe checks" (literally checking those molecular vibes), centrifuges are "Extreme™ merry-go-rounds" (spinning at 14,000 RPM is definitely extreme), and gel electrophoresis chambers are simply "evil jello" (because that's where DNA fragments go to get judged). The lab equipment glow-up we never knew we needed!
