Agilent "Reach That Peak"

Lyrics:
Welcome. Thank you all for coming.
You see today is a very special day, because today we're gonna talk about chemistry.
And I'm not talking about just any chemistry...no, no, no...I'm talkin' about the quantitation of pharmaceutical compounds...
sulfamethoxazole...thiabendazole...cabamazephine...1,7- dimethylxanthine...

Yeah, girl, you know what I'm talking about...we're talkin' about pharmaceuticals
So let's get ready people... and chemists put your hands together ...'cause here we go...

As you can see this our sample matrix
It was complex...mysterious

We needed something with accurate-mass,
something sensitive
with dynamic range

What we got was something really fast
It could distinguish separate compounds
with identical nominal mass. And it said

Reach that peak, baby, reach that peak you're a mass spec girl, you're a mass spec boy
Reach that peak, baby, reach that peak you're my mass spec girl, I'm your mass spec boy

Reach that peak, baby, reach that peak you're a mass spec girl, you're a mass spec boy
Reach that peak, baby, reach that peak you're my mass spec girl, I'm your mass spec boy


Right now I wanna take some time to thank the people in my lab

We got Vaneetha Adani working the Q-TOF -- you go girl, that's right.
We got Billy Jenkins on sample prep -- peace my brother.
We got Calvin Jiang on MassHunter and the METLIN database -- keep crunchin' that data amigo.

And last but not least I want to give a big shout out to Agilent Technologies. Without the 6520 Accurate-Mass Q-TOF LC/MS I wouldn't be where I am today. You're beautiful. I love you people. Stay mass spectacular. Peace. I'm out.

Yes, we only wish all our conferences were this entertaining

[MorseCodeName]

Mass spectrometry is hot :)

[leofreaking]

We watch this in our lab about every week!

[theredbaron326]

My economics classes could definitely use a song or two along these lines. If nothing else to prove that we're capable of NOT being boring once in a while.

[erictomlee]

lol this was certainly not what I was expecting from Agilent. entertaining though

[MrProsser4242]

I do love the work many companies like Agilent and Bio-Rad put into their adverts these days. Nice that they are willing to have a little fun.

Stay Mass spectacular.... !!! Hahaha.... Peace! Now that is how a conference shud be.

[Jervin22000]

Ha ha ha!! This was awesome, even if it was for an Agilent... ;) ASMS would've been a lot more fun with something like this going on!

[OrestisTheBeast]

This video was SO AMAZING!

[longhairlolita]

LOVE THIS

[janlennart]

damn! I love mass spec...

[Catchicken89]

Haha clever.

Should I feel embarrassed for having a clue what this song was on about?

The next time I go near any MS piece of equipment I know I'm gonna have this song stuck in my head :)
