Challenging the Glo-Germ Technique for Aerosol Containment During Cell Sorting

Frederick, MD | Wednesday | July 25, 2019

The containment of high-pressured biological sample streams generated by flow cytometer cell sorters is biologically imperative; the risk of exposure to (potentially) infectious agents must be mitigated. Subsequently, evaluating levels of aerosol containment are imperative for biosafety assurance.

A team of researchers from the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) have developed a robust assay to determine cell sorter aerosol containment…
