- When moving cells, make sure to keep the container steady, to prevent the cells from dislodging.
- Wash vacuum tube with bleach after completing protocol.
- Wash the media container and any other materials with ethanol prior to opening/using in the hood.
- Keep anything not in immediate use towards the back of the hood to prevent tipping/hitting anything.
