Our article is published in an issue! It provides a deeper understanding of carbohydrate hydrolysis. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me email. I would love to help.

In 2018, Stonewall literally told schools to shred a research pack saying there were risks to puberty blockers. "We, in the strongest possible terms, denounce and condemn this publication. If it lands on your desk, do the right thing: shred it.” 1/3

Our latest article uncovers dehydration in carbohydrate hydrolysis, revealing new TPTZ mechanism. Described by reviewers as 'incredibly important', it addresses perplexing issues such as sugar loss during analysis, with their causes now confirmed. https://t.co/ZuZN1SQZRz

#TPTZ method measures aldehyde. But why does recovery from monosaccharides vary? Why does concentrated sulfuric acid-treated glucose only produce 1/3 of the color intensity compared to raw glucose? Stay tuned for more insights from our MS in press on #carbohydrate #hydrolysis

I've noticed many people overlook labeling, especially for samples stored in ULT.

[Dr. Ying-Yu Hu (Ruby) @rubyatcuisine]

Done!

I wish I will meet my three reviewers in person one day. Additionally I wish I will have the opportunity to collaborate with the third reviewer, to make my chemometrics dream come true.

I determine outliers by starting with observation 😂 I bet this guy has a much higher protein content than its fella.

Wrap up one cruise 🤗

Exciting update in the 12th revision of our RNA and DNA protocol! Introducing secondary standard solutions for DNA and RNA quantification via UV absorbance. Enhancing assay consistency for seamless data comparisons within and across research groups. https://t.co/J7612pdVk6

I recently received a pocket microscope and a foldscope, but unfortunately, neither of them works. So, I've decided to combine them. As someone well-versed in microscopy, I must say I'm rather pleased with the result 😉

Mental issue is a big problem.

Like nitrogen, people have their limits. Respect them, and they remain calm. Cross them, and they can turn explosive.

It has been a valuable learning experience to revise the manuscript.

[Dr. Ying-Yu Hu (Ruby) @rubyatcuisine]

One step closer to the dream!

Processing >150 RNA/DNA samples in poor quality sucks. If some replicates have lower biomass than the others, it could indicate a leaking issue and might not be noticeable. But some filters had dense color & 3x higher biomass. How did this super high volume happen?

[Dr. Ying-Yu Hu (Ruby) @rubyatcuisine]

Exciting results: two operators, two days, <10% variation! Achieved despite the challenge of mixing RNA and DNA standards. Consistency is key!
