I believe it's an instant sex change pill. The guy in the first panel is changed into a woman in the second panel, as a prank by the friends.

Oh. That's clearer. Half thought it was a transphobic joke but I was right in thinking that it got over my head

I think it's also a little thrown off by the phrasing. "That's my last day in this second-rate lab!" is kind of a setup for a punchline where they don't get to advance and are stuck in the same lab, but that doesn't seem to be the joke here. It would probably work better with the second panel first, and then an "Earlier" narrative box, and just "Behold! An instant sex change pill!"
