Rethinking biosafety in flow cytometry
APEJune 15th, 20262026-06-15T09:24:30+02:00
Handling pathogenic samples in flow cytometry does not just challenge analysis, it challenges safe waste disposal. A recent preprint demonstrates a practical solution: Continuous UV-C treatment directly in the waste stream using the FlowShield system. Key takeaways: Chemical-free alternative to bleach-based decontamination 100% inactivation for E. coli and Klebsiella Inline integration (e.g. FlowShield) enables continuous, automated decontamination What’s particularly interesting: Instead of treating cytometer waste after collection, pathogens are inactivated inline before they reach the waste tank. This approach (as implemented with FlowShield) could simplify lab workflows,...
