Sample Restrictions

Cell populations to be analyzed on any of the instruments cannot contain radionuclides or infectious agents. Specifically, it is not permissible to bring cells into the Cytometry Core for analysis that contain radioactive substances (eg, P-32) or are known to be infected with bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Examples would include cells known to be producing infectious virus such as EBV or HIV. This policy is enforced because flow cytometers generate aerosols, which we cannot contain during analysis or sorting.
