This is quite an epic feat happening over at PSB465! The physical facility is being upgraded for electric, networking, data storage space, and gas/vac/air, and also the impact on air temperature regulation. We have added IT infrastructure of 4 instrument controller PCs and 2 analysis workstations, with a variety of new software suites, and a new server for image data. We’ve redesigned the floorplan and have our final lab benches in place, including an Explorer G3 workstation and custom designed tables for our Phenix microscope and Flex robots. About 20 crates have crossed our threshold over the past two months, as well as about a dozen manufacturer-employed installation technicians, and a host of UCSC facilities, woodshop, electricians, net opps, and ITS people. We’ve worked with a team of UCSC purchasing agents, accountants, and receiving specialists. We have so much to be grateful for! and the fun is only just beginning.
