The temperature remains stable, and the humidity is currently at about 67%, so currently only the lights are affected. The technicians are contacted and they will be here in about half an hour. If you have any plants that urgently need to move into light, please let me know and I will move them into chamber 19 immediately (short day, but the light is already on). I will keep you updated on the status of the repair. > > Thank you, > Selina > > <image001.png> <https://www.vbcf.ac.at/> > Selina Schöndorfer > Image and Data Analyst > > > selina.schoendorfer(a)vbcf.ac.at <mailto:selina.schoendorfer@vbcf.ac.at> > Vienna BioCenter Core Facilities GmbH > Dr. Bohr-Gasse 3 > 1030 Vienna > Austria > www.vbcf.ac.at <https://www.vbcf.ac.at/> > <image002.jpg> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/core-for-life/posts/?feedView=all&viewAsMe…> Univ.-Prof. Dr. Peter Schlögelhofer Max Perutz Labs University of Vienna Dr. Bohr-Gasse 9 1030 Vienna Austria Phone: +43 1 4277 56240 Email: peter.schloegelhofer(a)univie.ac.at

Re: Temporary shortage of Substrat 2 ("red soil") – please use Gramoflor where

by Guevarra,Paige

Dear all, We would like to update you that the order of Substrat 2 (“red soil”) is expected to arrive between September 14th and 25th. This is unfortunately much later than the initial estimates from the producer and supplier, but we are working together to receive the soil as soon as possible. We will also try to work with the producer and supplier much further in advance to ensure this does not happen again. The Gramoflor (“blue soil”) is still available if you need soil in the meantime. Thank you for your patience and cooperation! Best, Paige From: Haghighattalab,Atena <atena.haghighattalab(a)vbcf.ac.at> Date: Monday, 10. August 2026 at 07:07 To: plants-user(a)lists.vbcf.ac.at <plants-user(a)lists.vbcf.ac.at>; gmi all <gmi.all.intern(a)gmi.oeaw.ac.at> Cc: Guevarra,Paige <paige.guevarra(a)vbcf.ac.at>; Gally,Sofia <sofia.gally(a)vbcf.ac.at> Subject: Temporary shortage of Substrat 2 ("red soil") – please use Gramoflor where Dear all, We would like to let you know that our stock of Substrat 2 ("red soil") is currently limited. Our supplier has informed us that the product is temporarily out of stock, with an expected delivery time of 3–4 weeks. To help us manage the remaining stock, we kindly ask everyone to use the alternative Gramoflor whenever possible and reserve Substrat 2 for experiments that specifically require it. We currently have sufficient stock of Gramoflor available. For reference, I have attached the technical data sheets for both substrates. Substrat 2 has a higher base fertilization, while Gramoflor has lower nutrient and salt levels. To help us prioritize the remaining stock for experiments that specifically require Substrat 2, please let Paige, our Core Facility Technician, know as soon as possible if the alternative substrate is not suitable for your experiment. We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring that the remaining stock of Substrat 2 is available for experiments that specifically require it. Cheers, Atena I’m aware that your workday may look different than mine. Please do not feel obligated to respond outside of your normal working hours.
