Dear all, due to the given design and setup of the Facility (remote control) and taken measures we will be able to keep up the main operation of the phytotrons and most of our (digital) services (…from today’s point of view). Please find important information, taken measures, reaction times and contact details summarized below: 1. We have increased the stock of consumables to avoid ordering and deliveries in the upcoming 3-4 weeks. 2. Anneliese and Jolanta will reduce their on-campus presence to a necessary minimum adapting to the actual workload of the research groups 3. Phytotron operation and control incl. alarms and repairs will continue via remote control/home-office mode by Anneliese and Jakub 4. Maintenance and repairs will continue, as usual 24/7, by our external partner Incotec-Cooling GmbH and GMI/IMBA Haustechnik 5. Image- and data analysis service (Ethan) as well Software development & PHENOBox (Sebastian) will continue in home-office mode 6. Please direct your requests, as usual, to: plants(a)vbcf.ac.at<mailto:plants@vbcf.ac.at>; in urgent cases (additionally to the mail!) call 1. Jakub: +43664 8084 77 090 and/or 2.

Waste Bins in PlantS Facility

by Auer,Anneliese

Dear all, a short reminder of "General Plant Rules": Do not fill the waste bins with orange autoclave bag more than half full. Full bins with wet soil are too heavy for our waste management staff! And do not collect waste in orange autoclave bags outside of waste bins, please ask me for extra bins if you need them. Thank you for your cooperation. Best Anneliese Anneliese Auer Senior Plant Facility Technician Gregor Mendel Institute of Molecular Plant Biology GmbH Dr. Bohr-Gasse 3, 1030 Vienna, Austria Phone: +43 1 79044 9990 anneliese.auer(a)gmi.oeaw.ac.at http://www.gmi.oeaw.ac.at [cid:gmi_48f983b7-0679-4d21-99bc-bda376e5bf6b.png]

CO2 atmosphere control @PlantS & GMI GeneGun move to MFPL

by Jez,Jakub

Dear all, We have completed the installation of the CO2 control system in phytotron #22 and #23 (MFPL location). CO2 concentrations of ambient/400ppm up to 2000ppm can be simulated with a precision of +/- 5ppm. Higher values can also be set upon special request. Get in touch with us for project requests. The GeneGun, which is currently located @GMI room #8.18, will be moved tomorrow morning to the MFPL PlantS Lab. Please contact me in case of any questions. Best regards, Jakub.
