Prepping preserved Antarctic seawater for flow cytometry. I stain preserved samples with fluorescent dye in a 96-well plate, and then load the plate into the instrument.
Our labs flow cytometer - named chili. It can count cells and take pictures of each cell it counts. She is the workhorse of the lab and supports most of our experiments.🧪
Nothing better than doing lab work you’re really excited about in an empty building on a Saturday afternoon. IYKYK. Here, prepping and running preserved Antarctic seawater samples on our flow cytometer (named chili 🌶️ by the grad students bc she is spicy) to count bacterial cells. 🇦🇶🌊👩🔬 #oceanography
