New room for cell cultures, ultrafreezers, cold chamber and ice machine

We are pleased to announce that this week we’ve inaugurated new rooms to ensure we continue to meet the demand from clients with SCC-PCB service contracts with the same quality and availability as always.

New cell cultures room, CL03B71. This new location provides 77.40 m2 of new space for white rooms, on top of the 307.75 m2 previously available, with many spaces in the Cluster, Cluster II and Helix buildings where SCC-PCB users are assigned work spaces based on the type of cultures they work with and the location of the client’s lab. This room has been designed specially for this purpose and is furnished with new equipment:
– 5 Biological safety cabinets
– 6 CO2 incubators
– 2 CO2 incubators with shaker
– 1 Inverted fluorescence microscope with image capture system and 1 routine microscope
– 1 Tabletop centrifuge with refrigeration system and 1 non-refrigerated tabletop centrifuge with a wide range of adaptors
– 1 Automated cell counter
– 2 Thermostatic baths
– 1 Combo fridge (4 °C) and freezer (-20 °C)

The room has a large SAS to ensure users’ comfort and the proper operations of the space. Like the rest of the SCC-PCB cell culture rooms, this space is only open to clients with this service contract. Signing up for the service, assigning and booking cabinets and incubators will continue to be done in the same way, using the forms on the PCB website, and managed by the SCC staff.
