Buy Analytical Instruments Online
There were actually a few of us involved with the prank involving the analytical instruments but I do admit that it was my idea in the first place. What we did was creep into the lab on a Sunday night and removed all of the portable analytical instruments to a safe place. We removed:
• A refrigerated centrifuge;
• A couple of incubators;
• A biotech explorer;
• A water bath;
• A laboratory blender;
• A Hemata STAT Easy Read Microhematocrit Centrifuge;
• A Salinity Refractometer 0-10% ATC Aquarium Salt Water;
• A Honeywell 9782P-03-VC-E0000-BD Analyzer Controller;
• A Nikon Optiphot-66 Microscope.
Now you need to understand that we were not planning to steal these analytical instruments but just really hide them for a few days. The idea was to actually return the analytical instruments the next night but we were double pranked and that’s what made the whole situation a lot worse.
We “borrowed” the analytical instruments and left a ransom note from letters cut out from a magazine, silly really but it seemed relevant due to a conversation we had with our professor the week before. The idea was to not only ransom the analytical instruments (it was for beers not money – like I said we thought our regular professor would be there) but the whole class was going to skip so the professor would come to class and there would be n empty room and a note.
Well what happened was that the regular professor had to go back home at short notice because his father was sick and the school had assigned another professor to fill in for him that week. She arrived to the empty room and the ransom note for the analytical instruments and freaked, I mean really freaked. She called security, who called the dean who called us to his office to explain what was going on and find out what we had done with the analytical instruments. Oh and he knew who was behind it because we had signed our names.
Now the dean was a pretty good guy and we told him it was a joke and the background and he told us that if we returned the analytical instruments right away there would be no real harm done and we would get off with a warning. Relieved we left his office and went to retrieve the analytical instruments except they were not where we had hidden them.
Our hearts sank we had no idea what had happened to the analytical instruments and we had to slink back to the Deans office and tell him that we had no idea where the analytical instruments were and we figured that he wouldn’t be so forgiving this time and we were right.
We had to wait outside for half an hour before we were ushered into his office to relay our tale of the now really missing analytical instruments. I thought he was going to explode. He went red in the face and I could almost see the steam coming out of his ears and then he said in a really quite voice well boys how are you going to pay for these analytical instruments. Do you have the money or do we need to contact your parents.
He was worse when he was calm and I managed to stammer out, “how much would that be sir?” He looked at me very seriously over his glasses and then reached for his calculator and started punching in numbers. He seemed to take forever to add up the cost of the analytical instruments but it was really only moments. I thought about the $50 I had left in my bank account from my parents and didn’t think that was going to be enough.
“$215,988 for the analytical instruments,” the Dean announced in a solemn voice and Frank nearly passed out and George went paler than I hade ever seen him.
“Each,” the Dean added and glared at all three of us over the top of his glasses.
I didn’t know what to say I felt that offering o work off the debt for the analytical instruments would mean that it would take another 20 years at least which didn’t sound like a very good solution even in my confused head at the time.
Well he said I think I had better call your parents I am sure they can pay off the analytical instruments on your behalf. Frank hit the floor out cold and George grabbed the trashcan and threw up inside he had never been too good in stressful situations.
There was a knock at the door and our original professor entered the one that was meant to be away and he was carrying a microscope, one of the missing analytical instruments. It turned out that he and the Dean had been in on it together. He had heard about our prank and together they had hatched the plane to teach us a lesson and they certainly did. At least the analytical instruments were not really missing.
