Samples containing viable BSL-2 agents (or samples that could contain such agents but whose status is unknown) may be run on the LSRFortessa.
We require a copy of your SCHEDULE F for any biohazardous materials brought into the core.
The investigator must comply with the following rules:
- PPE – Lab coat, gloves, eye protection and closed toe shoes are to be used at all times.

- Spills – If any sample is spilled in the room it is to be reported to Facility staff and cleaned up using bleach.

Any contaminated materials should be discarded into the biohazard trash.
Left over samples are to be returned to the user’s lab using the approved transport container.
