Re: Inventory of equipment

Still a spread sheet here too, but would love a technology advancement :).
As for borrowing we require a Risk Assessment to be completed to use our equipment. I am only 2 days a week. So far a risk assessment has been done on most cases.
Merry Christmas as tomorrow is my last day for the year!

Gas Chromatography

Good Morning
I was wondering if any schools use gas chromatography and if so what do you use it for? Do you think it is a worth while investment?
Thank you.

This might be too late but for future reference.
