on 12-03-2012 15:09
Invitrogen was kind enough to install a demo system of their latest device: FLoid Cell Imaging Station, within the CIF Bugnon.
This system provides a very simple and straightforward way to acquire basic images of tissue and cells (living or not), in brightfield or fluorescence.
You can request a demo with your own sample simply by emailing either Jean-Yves Chatton or Yannick Krempp (both @unil.ch). The demo system will be available until Thursday the 15th.

CIF user account expiration - Starting March the 1st
By Yannick KREMPP,
on 22-02-2012 17:31
Dear CIF Users,
within the next weeks you might get this type of error message when you'll try to log in :
This means that your account has... expired. This is actually normal, because it's the only only way for the CIF to automatically deactivate user accounts when they leave their group, job, etc... and not keeping ghost accounts active.
Moreover, if you've changed your affiliation, this is the occasion for us to check if we still have the correct billing information.
So what to do when you're facing this error message ?
- First check that error message mentions account expired, and not wrong login/password.
- If it's an account expiration message, just contact the local technical manager to refresh your credentials.
As the booking system is a separated component, if your account has expired you can still book the systems !
This is important: if you're booking a slot after march the 1st, please consider writing an email to the technical manager before that booking occurs to check your account.
The CIF Staff.

The Leica SP5 setup is down until further notice. We suspect a hadware error and we have to wait for the Leica technician to check this up.
We're sorry for the incovenience. We'll keep you informed as soon as we have updates on this system's status.
The CIF Staff.
UPDATE : The Leica SP5 is up and running again. Blame windows updates on the servers for that.
