Mycotoxin in rice?!

Formally informed that mycotoxin also present in rice.
Today i am having a bengkel from Stable Arm sdn bhd, i think it is a distributor company cause a person from LCTech (base at Germany) come and show us the machine.Uhum, sorry, there is no any yan dau blue eyes ang moh, just a malaysian LOL

First. GPC aka Gel Permeation Chromatography.
The thing i understand is this thing is the latest alternative for SPE aka Solid phase extraction, which is automated and lots more advantages lah...

Second. AcceClean....something like SPE but automated & capable of analyse more sample.

Third. AflaREAD & OtaREAD ELISA kits which are used to detect mycotoxin.
The AflaREAD kit detect alfa-toxin and the OtaREAd kit detect ochratoxin.
hm.................
Afla = alfa  & Ota =  Ochra
Ota = Otak-otak?!
cold............................................

The presentation bout the mycotoxin makes me wonder (like Maroon 5)
looks exactly like lecture note. WTF....
Looks like mycotoxin also has it golden rules : got fungi doesn't mean got mycotoxin, no fungi doesn't mean no mycotoxin, we don't know why fungi produce this bloody hell mycotoxin and we don't know when they produce them also. 了吗?

Actually it is his ring that occupied my mind.
Well, i don't know how to differentiate between engagement ring and marriage ring so i just assume it is a marriage ring then. hm...maybe i should investigate the differences between both ring.
It is so dazzling even though it look as it have been used for quite some time.
The ring is so shining like saying :"Hey, im married!" and i was so damn sleepy till i don't even care whatever the person yapping about and keep looking at the ring.
Well, i can tell that the guy is really proud and confident with the mycotoxin ELISA kit as he been doing mycotoxin before this, hope one day i will have something which i am proud to talk about, like what he was doing just now. Peace.

Mycotoxin present in rice, dates, dried chili, peanut, peanut butter, corn and lots more stuff.
I think he had inspire the researchers at the venue to do something bout analyse mycotoxin level in rice as we analyse it in animal food but never did it on our main food - rice.
He done a really good job today, thanks him, StableArm and IMR for this exposure LOL

Dr Nurul from the PAH analysis project i followed few weeks ago asked me :"Did you get what you want here?" as she asking us when we finish our internship there.
Without hesitation, i answered :"Yes."
She said :"Thats good."
Sincerely, i get more than i expected over here. Total exposure to research field. 
Furthermore, strengthen my determination to further study =)
and i am kind of addicted to their library, lots of books! I mean the books i am willing to read! God knows i never sit down properly to read something except about gossip. LOL
Till now, i still think i'm been blessed all this while. Thank you =)
