Hokkudai no Marine Natural Product Laboratory

Posted on Dec 4, 2015 by

It's me again, Fiti ^-^. As I told earlier in my first post Autumn and Hokkaido University, I am now join Okino Sensei laboratory to finish my thesis research. Thankfully, here they have all lab stuff and machine to support marine natural product chemistry. I find it helpful, because there in Indonesia, we have to send our sample somewhere outside campus to have it characterized (LC-MS; HPLC; NMR) and we also have to pay for it. But here its all free, moreover we can use it again and again.

Actually we have some laboratory rooms, but here I will share some photos only from our main laboratory:





washing side
solvent storage
drying machine
solvent waste

 

 

HPLC
H-NMR and C-NMR
LC-MS
As I know, many advanced-measurement equipment in Environmental Earth Science (EES) Faculty are set up and available to use in EVERY laboratory. Since every lab here is belongs to 1 Sensei, soo you can do calculation how many machine are exist here, and its only in EES Faculty..  *.* (consider also for other faculty *.* )

The one that I just realize here is our lab's floor material. It was made from kind of rubber material and was fitted on purpose. So if you dropped your glassware stuff, it will not be broken easily. This is very good for me, since I often drop and break my glassware stuff there in Indonesia..kekekke :p

Thanks for stopping by and see you in the next post ^~^

Autumn and Hokkaido University

Posted on Nov 4, 2015 by


My First Live Autumn Experience 

First post :D 

Hello everyone my name is Fitria Susilowati, UGM Master course student. Now in Japan they call me Fiti. Yep, you can also call me Fiti :) Anyway, nice to meet you. I am so grateful to be one of PARE member and visiting Hokkaido University for these 5 months. Last March I joined PARE Spring School 2015. It was held in IPB. Well, that was joyful and tearful 2 weeks, yet it was all memorable for me :D


2015 PARE Spring School IPB Indonesia
I decided to join PARE certificate Program for June admission since I found Okino Sensei Laboratory has the same field of interest with my research. Thankfully, I got a very warm welcome from Sensei. And..here I am now in Hokkaido University. This is my first time visiting Japan.



Meet up again with our spring school friends here in Hokkaido (as we promise)


Actually 5 days ago -marks a month countdown till we flight down to Hokkaido. Yep, it’s been a month and guess what?? This is my first experience to have autumn season ^~^

Hokkaido University has it’s own beautiful scenery in autumn. Trees with various colors which I always wish to see. Well, this is my first experience to see so-called autumn-trees.

Ginkgo Avenue
  


Enjoying trees dressing up in red and yellow beautiful autumn leaves


On October 24 and 25, there was an event named "Golden Leaves Festival" in Ginkgo avenue. The yellow leaves of Ginkgo was lit up at night. It snowed on that day (the temperature seems to drop quite quickly in Hokkaido) but I still could enjoy the beauty of the autumn leaves ^~^

I am fully grateful to see these spectacular scenery and colors right before my eyes. Thanks PARE. Thanks Hokkaido University.

Me, hijab, and autumn
