Hi all,
@Madelyn I’ve asked them to do the Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday instead.
@April I’ve indicated the incubators and rotor cannot be turned off at all and that to if
possible do weekend work or delay for a week or two will see what dates they come back
with.
@Elena, I’ve indicated that if a perfusion experiment occurs we’ll have to cancel the
testing but that we usually only have 24 hours’ notice of this.
BW,
Conor

Hi Conor,
Jack and I will have important cultures in the RSF tissue processing room incubators
during this time. We think it should be fine for the works to occur if the incubators will
only be off for 15 minutes, but could we please have contingencies in place (i.e., backup
incubators) in case there are any issues getting the incubators back on/up to temperature?
Perhaps we do the tissue processing and organoid rooms on different days so the other
room’s incubators can be available if need be? It would be extremely detrimental to both
our projects if we lost these cultures.
Additionally, could we ask for the works in the tissue processing room to be on a Tuesday,
Wednesday, or Thursday?. They are currently scheduled for a Monday (5th), but Mondays and
Fridays tend to be our lab intensive days.
Thank you.
Best,
Maddy

Hi Conor,
This would be an issue for our team working in the RSF organoid room. We are going to be
in the middle of a very important organoid differentiation as part of paper revision
experiments. These experiments will be reliant on the incubators and rotator working
throughout. Sorry to be a nuisance in the planning of this works but maybe there can be
some rearrangement until we have passed this critical differentiation period.
Best wishes,
April

Hi Conor,
The only thing would be if there was a perfusion going on we would not be able to turn the
power off, even for 15 mins.
We can’t really predict when this might happen as it depends on the availability of
kidneys. I see there is a range of dates so hopefully there can be some flexibility to
accommodate a perfusion experiment. Also we wouldn’t want to decline kidney samples just
if this testing work had been planned. Perhaps we could add an exception for the perfusion
room.
Thanks for your help with this,
Best wishes,
Elena

Hi all,
There is upcoming wire testing in the RSF which must be carried out as a legal
requirement, there is some wiggle room on the dates. Each electrical circuit in the room
will be turned off for up to 15 minutes.
Can everyone check the dates below and let me know:
1. If there is any critical work taking place on that day that cannot be interrupted.
2. If there’s any equipment in use that wouldn’t be able to be turned off. (Incubators
should be fine as they won’t be opening them while the power is off).
