New users need to download and fill out the User Registration Form and submit the form before/on the first appointment. This form is used for the billing information, therefore, periodically we may ask the users to update the form. A new form is needed when the grant is expired or changed.

Due to the fact that cell sorting generates aerosols and the cells are generally not fixed, the biohazard risks are greater than in analytic flow cytometry. Therefore, a Cell Sorting Biosafety Assessment Form has to be filled out prior to doing the sort. We are equipped with a BL2 biosafety cabinet to perform sorts on infectious samples, but the sorting or acquisition of potentially infectious samples must be discussed with Jessica Cervelli.
The PI/Requestor of the sort must have the appropriate biosafety approvals from the RU institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC). Material that will require IBC approval includes:
-
-
- Unfixed primary or established human/non-human primate cell lines, and/or;
- infected/transfected/transformed cell lines (regardless of origin), and/or;
- Bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi
