System overview
Hardware details
The BSL 2 room is maintained by LNF Staff. The room and the equipment inside are cleaned during the lab clean. This cleaning consists of vacuuming, mopping the floor with 1 % Bleach solution, emptying garbage and wiping surfaces with 10% IPA wet pads. Staff will not touch equipment that contains users samples. During the time the room is under reservation by a user, he/she is responsible for the equipment’s cleanliness.
LNF supplies gloves, basic chemicals (ethanol, methanol), glass slides, glass pipettes, plastic pipettes, beakers, and micropipettes.
All consumables, which are specific to the user, such as broth, pipette tips, syringes, Eppendorf tubes, and sample containers must be provided by the user.
