Corning Cell Counters Now Available
We are excited to introduce you to our new Corning Cell Counters, which are now available for use in the Analytical Rooms:
- 4th floor - Rm 458
- 6th Floor - Rm 654
These cell counters are user-friendly and easy to operate. Simply log into the cloud based app, load the disposable counting chamber with 10 µl sample premixed with Trypan Blue (1:1), place it on the stage, focus on your cells, and press the ‘Count’. This SOP provides detailed instructions and serves as a quick reference guide.
As part of our roll-out, we are pleased to offer free samples of the disposable counting chambers. If you are interested in receiving these samples, or would like to schedule a one-on-one demo with your own samples provided, please do not hesitate to reach out to monika.lodyga@unityhealth.to or neha.chauhan@unityhealth.to.
Fume Hood Maintenance
Please note that fume hoods will be undergoing necessary maintenance from Friday, May 12th – Monday, May 15th. During this time the fume hoods should not be used. There may also be temporary issues with air pressure, which may result in doors being more difficult to open and close.
If you feel that this will significantly impact your work or have any concerns, please contact Research Facilities at research.facilities@unityhealth.to.
