Dear Fellow Flowers, I have a question regarding decontamination of tubes and cuvette in a FACS Analyser (Galaxy) equipped with a sorting cuvette: Partec does not recommend a 70 % ethanol solution for decontamination of the system prior to sorting as alcohol would lead to clouding of the cuvette after some time. On the other hand, other companies like BD recommend the use of a 70 % ehtanol solution for this purpose. What we now did was use a 2 % Hypochloride solution, but we are not sure weather this is good for the cuvette. If anyone has experience in getting the system sterile and keep the cuvette clear in the long run we would be very happy, if you could give us some tips! Thanks a lot in advance Isabel Schmitt Isabel Schmitt Paul Ehrlich Institut Abtl.
