week 5 day 1

Today resembled Friday. A re-run of Bertin's NCP aggregation was attempted, however, results did not resemble Bertin's. Large concentrations of Magnesium were approached in the NCP solution, however, no significant NCP was observed to be aggregating. One suggested problem was the sample was old and poorly handled, resulting in the essential tails of the NCP being degraded. Next week a better sample will be used.
