UV-Spectrophotometer Missing! Get Rewarded for Returning Back the UV-Spectrophotometer

No Comments

It is unfortunate that our UV-Spectrophotometer has disappeared from the lab. Since it is a small and portable equipment, the UV-Spectrophotometer is easily brought out from the lab unnoticed. We are going to reward RM100 to anybody who can help us return or provide information on the missing UV-Spectrophotometer. Please contact Prof. NASA, Zaki, Yani or any CREG member if you have information about the missing UV-Spectrophotometer.

For your information the UV-Spectrophotometer is a photometer (a device for measuring light intensity) that can measure intensity as a function of the color, or more specifically, the wavelength of light. In CREG lab, Uv-Spectrophotometer used to measure the Kappa Number of EPFB in order to evaluate the lignin content of the samplw. Besides, it also being used for enzyme-related research.

Farewell Party for Linda, CREG Research Officer

1 Comment

A secret farewell party was organized and executed today for Linda, our CREG research officer who have served the research group for 2 and half years. The simple but meaningful ceremony was attended by all CREG members including lecturers, Ph.D students, Master students, and PSM students.

The ceremony which took place on a beautiful afternoon at CREG meeting room was chaired by me. Then I invited Prof. Nor Aishah Saidina Amin to give her speech and inside her speech, she highlighted almost all jobs/tasks as well as contribution that Linda has made to CREG. Then, Linda was invited to deliver her speech, but she was speechless!!! She could not say anything because she was so supprized with the ceremony and never expected it to happen. She cannot say anything, accept thanks. After that, Mahadhir, one of the PhD student recite doa and all of us enjoyed the meal.

The special meal presented was Nasi Serai. I haven’t tasted Nasi Serai before. It was marvelous… :)

Pictures will be uploaded soon from Yani’s camera… Please be patient…

Special thanks to Naz and Yani to help to plan and organized this event. Also, special thanks to all who have contributed in whatever means to make this ceremony happen.

2010 Spring Cleaning will be the last for CREG

No Comments

Today, CREG members gathered and carried out spring cleaning. It was almost a year since we performed our massive spring cleaning. Now, we are planning not to repeat any type of spring cleaning.

Instead… we are going to regularly perform weekly housekeeping. The house keeping which will take only one hour per week will hopefully be the solution to maintain CREG lab efficiency, effectiveness and cleanliness. Almost all CREG members participated in the spring cleaning which commenced at 2.30 pm and ended at 5.00 pm.
