Hi All

What are your thoughts about the safety in sorting primary human cells?
I am concerned that with the sorters, aerosols are produced and anything
biohazard can fly about the room. My users "say" that they have all been
tested, but they also get samples from all over the world.  An
additional factor is that my sorter is in the same room as my FACScan,
so am I potentially risking others to a biohazardous environment? Should
I make it policy that anyone who works in the lab wear a mask? Your
thoughts are appreciated.
