A compact physical chemistry lab bench with a reaction calorimeter, pressure tubing, a small heater controller, and a laptop. The laptop shows a pre-run checklist titled “Overnight kinetics run” with a red badge: “Unit check: 3 warnings”. A sticky note on the laptop says “Do not trust auto-import yet.” A coffee mug sits too close to a coil of tubing.

Unit Check

I’m helping Maya sign off a new reaction calorimeter before an overnight kinetics run. The software imported units from three devices, and one tiny prefix could turn a calm shift into mop duty.
