Lab Frustrations

So the peptide synthesis went wrong (3rd time). Upside-found the problem. The synthesizer is not putting the right volumes in the reaction vessel. So after recalibrating the instrument, I'm now trying the fourth round. Why so frustrating? Each synthesis takes 2-3 days to complete. Research is fun, but trial and error plays a huge part in success.
