GENERAL ADVICE
User responsability
You have always to know whether you are the last person using the instrument that day. If you are, then shut down the instrument according to the procedure you have learnt during the training. If you are the last booked user for the day and you don’t use the booked instrument, it is still your responsibility to shut it down.
How early can I start my sort?
Cell sorting can be booked starting from 10 am. Earlier sorts are usually not possible because the instrument needs a stabilization period before use. It is fundamental that bookings for sorts are made in advance and in accordance with facility staff as the latter will perform them.
Data backup
Data files are directly recorded on the instrument’s computer hard drive. However, facility staff are not responsible for data files left on computers. All users are advised to copy their files to their computers in order to store them safely.
