Antibody organization
Hello CyTOFers,
This is a somewhat mundane question that isn't necessarily limited to CyTOF-related reagents: how do you organize, store and manage your antibodies? I'm particularly interested in responses from groups that maintain a relative large central repository of CyTOF reagents.
What kind of rack arrangement do you find most efficient to keep things organized?
Do you use specific software to help keep track of things?
Are any of you using automatic/robotic liquid management systems to prepare your antibody cocktails? If so, which system, and do you have an antibody storage solution that is easily compatible with/accessible to the robot (e.g., pierce-able septum caps, standard 96-well format tube storage)?
