Cell Culture Basic Training Workshop

Dear Fellow Scientists,

Starting with spring 2017, the 3D Cell Culture Core (3D3C) facility plans to run a series of three workshops covering basic cell culture techniques, basic 3D cell culture techniques and microscopic visualization of 3D cell cultures once every semester. You may choose to attend one or several workshops in the series. A 5% discount will be offered to individuals who register for two workshops and a 10% discount will be applied for registration to the three workshops within the semester.

The first 3D3C workshop on basic cell culture techniques is scheduled on February 16 & 17, 2017. Participation in the workshops requires having REM biosafety training and blood borne pathogen training. The course fee for this first workshop is $250 (see flyer attached for more information). There is no prerequisite for the workshop. The registration deadline is January 27, 2017. If you are interested or have questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Tim Kwok
Facility Manager

iLabs Help Sites:

As you know, the Birck Nanotechnology Center is in the process of converting from Coral over to a new lab management software package, called iLabs. Several instruments are already converted, and more are being done in January. Some helpful ‘Tool Kits’ have been developed to assist users in understanding iLabs and navigating through the various aspects of the software. These tool kits are liked below, and we would encourage you to review any or all to help answer any questions you may have or address any issues you may have encountered. These include Quick Reference Cards that help walk you through the different iLabs processes. There is a training video included as well.

The Tool Kits are here:
