OFFICIAL QUESTION:

: Forensic Science Geek of the Week Challenge

1. Identify this piece of equipment.

2. What can it be used for?

3. Are there any potential issues with its use?

Our Geek of the Week answered:

Thanks to my recent week spent at Axion labs- I recognized this picture right away. It is an autodiluter. It is used to dilute a sample for preparation of the sample for injection into Gas chromatograph. The benefit is to take human error out of the measure of dilution substance with the sample. However, the downsides are that the tip is reused while you could send some of the dilute down the tip to “wash” each time you could still get carryover of from prior samples into your tested sample.

[BLOGGER’S NOTE: What a great answer. Thank you for participating. Congratulations on being our Geek of the Week.]
