Not clear what this means in terms of performance.

Door Mechanism

East side of lab, to get into the room w/ ice machine, autoclave etc. Bolt does not fully retract causing door jam.

Fixed

Electroporator

Fixed, 7/31/06

The lid of the electroporator is broken. A new one is on order. Hold the lid closed while pulsing.

We've seen software bugs since the lid broke - either the software kicks back to the main screen when you try to pulse, or the screen freezes at 'pulsing'. It doesn't seem that the machine actually pulsed when this happens.
