MSU Flow Cytometry Core Cell Sorting Addendum

If you plan to setup a cell sorting experiment, sorting must be approved in your lab’s Safety Protocol within HURON Click, MSU’s research and compliance system. An addendum for projects involving sorting on a flow cytometer must be completed and approved by EH&S and/or the IBC. This addendum is required due to the increased risk of aerosolization when sorting using an electrostatic-based cell sorter.  Our policies are set based upon NIH Sorter Biosafety Guidelines and ISAC (International Society for Advancement of Cytometry) Sorter Biosafety Standards. If you are a PI, the Cell Sorting Addendum can be found at the link above and should be uploaded as an amendment to your lab’s existing HURON Click Safety Protocol. If you are a student, postdoc, or staff member, please let your PI know that this submission and approval in the HURON Click system is required prior to any approval of cell sorting by the Core.
