Instrument Reservation
To reserve an instrument, please visit the Lab Resources Scheduler. Name of the Faculty Supervisor/Sponsor and a valid Cost Center number is required to complete the reservation.
- All users must complete Fortessa training course before they can use the analyzer independently.
- Schedule instrument use as far in advance as possible. This is a shared instrument, so please schedule no more than needed for your experiment.
- Inform the core of any cancellations to your sorter appointment before the scheduled start time. Failure to do so will result in charges for the full scheduled appointment.
- For any appointment which requires core staff assistance, inform the core of any delays to your start time before the appointment is set to begin. Ensure you arrive within 30 minutes of your scheduled start time. Failure to do either of these will result in full charges for the scheduled appointment.
- Schedule extra time before and after for any necessary controls (single colors, FMO, etc) and instrument cleaning (usually about 10-15 minutes).
- Standard sorting procedures assumes BSL-1 mammalian cells with 100µm nozzle. Alert the core in advance for any deviations from this (BSL-2, different nozzle size, etc.) so the instrument can have the settings changed before you arrive.
