To all: We need to site a new sorting facility in a brand new building that's nearing completion. We have some controversy about the role of vibration. I know this has been discussed here before: http://www.cyto.purdue.edu/hmarchiv/2001_q2/0490.htm However, I'd like a broader survey. I would greatly appreciate it if each of you could take 1 minute to answer the following and send it to me. I will post a summary at the end: 1. On what floor is your sorter located? How many floors total in the building? 2. About how old is the building? 3. Do you have a lot of ambient vibration? 4. What are the nearest sources of vibration, if any? 5. Do you have any evidence or suspicion that vibration adversely affects your sorting? 6. Are there any other major considerations you can think of concerning where to place a sorter (we are thinking of the fifth floor of a six floor building)? You help is greatly appreciated! -- Mark Shlomchik, MD, PhD Associate Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Immunobiology Yale University School of Medicine 203-688-2089 203-688-2748 (fax) mark.shlomchik@yale.edu
