Friends

In this case I'm talking about the friends in the lab, more specifically machines that make life in the lab easier.
This cute little thing, called the "Fraksammler", and collects fractions from a column.

For all non-chemists: a column is used to purify compounds after reactions and looks something like this:

The magic about this machine is that you don't have to be around your column all the time to check and switch test tubes. Basically it makes you lazier but faster. ;-)
