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.
- Reservations must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the starting time of the reservation. Otherwise, the users will be charged for the reserved time slot.
- 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 no more than a 2-way sort and an 85µm nozzle. Alert the core in advance for any deviations from this (BSL-2, different nozzle size, 4-way sort, etc) so the instrument can have the settings changed before you arrive.
