[Sextonlabmeeting] Sexton lab -80 freezer is off

[Jason Sexton]

Just a report back to say that the internal breaker on the freezer had
tripped. There must have been a power surge or something, and our alarm
system failed to trigger. So, just a cautionary tale to make sure you've
got your alarm systems up to date on those freezers.

We've cleaned it up and are powering it back on to see if it's all okay.

Thanks for the messages of help, everyone.

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