Dear Flow Community, 

Does your Flow Cytometry facility sort live (unfixed) clinical (tested) 
patient samples? Please write me with contact information so that I 
may inquire about your safety policies and procedures. 

Specifically we have an investigator that would like to sort primary 
tumor (human: prostate, glioblastoma, cervical, etc.) stem cells that 
have been clinically tested for HIV, HBV, etc. Any feedback on the 
potential operator risks with pluripotent cancer stem cells? Minimum 
facility requirements? BSL1, class 1000 lab or clean room, etc? 

Thanks!
