Professional Micropipetter

I officially started my job in a research lab today!
I am working under a current graduate student at the University of Utah investigating two probes (4-methylumbelliferyl-boronate ester and -boronic acid) that detect oxidants within T-cells. When oxidants are present. the probes are oxidized to 4-methylumbelliferyl which fluoresces. I micropipette varying concentrations of oxidant or probe into wells and then run them through a machine to measure the relative fluorescence of each mixture. Then I process the data and determine the effectiveness of probe and oxidant...well trying to anyways. I'm working at the technique and I'm getting better.
I am a micropipetter.

Excellent job i like it,
Let's examine some of the types of pipettes used in laboratories.
