[Sextonlabmeeting] Sexton lab -80 freezer is off

[Daniel Toews]

What!!! I have many DNA extracts in Beman’s freezer in SE2. Should I ask Carolin Frank or Mike Beman if we can temporarily store stuff there?
Best,
Daniel

Hi Everyone,

I'm very sorry to report that our -80 is off and looks like it has been for days perhaps. (It's not cold inside anymore.) I never received an alarm, so it looks like that system failed.

I am emailing you because you may have samples in there. I am having facilities help me figure out if the power was cut or if the freezer just died, etc.

I will keep you in the loop, but let me know if there is anything I can do or if you'd like me to try to put your samples elsewhere if I can find a backup -80, or if that's worth it for you to do at this point.

Very sorry about this,

Jay

It's between March and May, so I apologize for extra long delays in my responses as these are my busiest months.
