First Impressions

Today, Bushra showed me around the lab where all the XCellR8 work takes place. She talked me through all the different equipment in the lab, and what it was for. I was particularly interested in the Class II Safety Cabinet, which provides a sterile environment in which to work. I look forward to learning how to use this over the next few days, and to bettering my aseptic technique.

Looking forward to another day tomorrow!
