Hi! All,

We have one user who wants to set up the flow cell to image live
pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm using our confocal microscope (multi-user
confocal microscope open for our university community).

This user said that p.aeruginosa is not so dangerous as long as we are
careful and clean them up after its use.  I want to get a biosafety
officer involved before we do anything.

If you can share your experience on biosafety regarding live pathogen in
your confocal room, I really appreciate it.

Many thanks!
