Hi, Friends! Here's the latest sterility test on our Fusion sorter. (left, negative control) sterile PBS + RPMI media without antibiotics. (mid/right, test) test sort + same source of RPMI media. Comparing all three confirms that the sorter is sterile! Yay! 🥳

Most recent sterility test for our Fusion Sorter: two test sorted tubes (left, middle) were incubated with RPMI media not containing antibiotics on 6/5. Comparing with the negative control (right, sterile PBS + media) today verifies the sterility of the sorter! 🌻

Sterility test on our Fusion sorter from 5/19! Two 'test sort' tubes (middle, right) were placed in the incubator last Friday. Comparing them today with the negative control tube (left) confirms that the sorter is sterile! 🙌🐣

Two 'test sorted' tubes with RPMI (no antibiotic) media (left, middle) were placed in the incubator on 5/9 to test for any contamination. After 6 days of incubation, sterility check comparing with the negative control (right; PBS + media) shows that the sorter is sterile.

Latest sterility test of our Fusion sorter. Two test sort tubes (left, middle) and a sterile PBS tube (right) were incubated with antibiotic-free RPMI media on 5/1. Sterility check today shows that the test sorts are clear, as compared to the negative control PBS tube. :

⚠️SORTER BOOKING POLICY CHANGE⚠️ You are now able to book time for yourself on the sorter. Please note that reservations longer than 1hr will REQUIRE core approval. If your reservation is not approved in a timely manner, email Michelle or Ada. Staff contacts are listed on iLAB.


The Celesta's been repaired!


Sterility test for the Fusion sorter from 4/14. Compared to the negative control (right, PBS + RPMI media with no antibiotics), both test sorts incubated with the same source of media (left, middle) appear sterile.

Sterility test from 4/12. After a 2-day incubation with RPMI media, "test" sort tubes (middle, right) appear clear of contamination, compared to negative control (left).

Our last sterility test on the BD Fusion sorter. Both tests were clear!

Just received the brand new autosampler for our Attune NxT! We tested the plate loader, and there were no bubbles in 20 consecutive wells. The draw volume was also correct. 🙌

All instruments are QC'ed. Hope everyone's Tuesday is going smoothly so far! 🤗


Happy late Easter from the flow core team (+Nile)! 😍

Sterility test on the Fusion sorter: tubes with "test" sort + RPMI media (left, middle) were placed in the incubator last week. Compared to the negative control tube (right), the sterility tests appear clear and negative for contamination today.

Most recent sterility test on our BD Fusion sorter from April 5th. (Left) Negative control, RPMI media + PBS. (Middle, right) RPMI media + "test" sorted sheath. Results show that the sorter is sterile.
