[ccp4bb] Off topic - fluorescence plate reader in cold room or cold box
Dear All, apologies for the off-topic question. I am facing the problem of running enzyme activity assays at low temperature (close to 4C would be ideal) in a fluorescence plate reader. Before I get labeled in our department as "the one who voids warranties" and destroys our beloved plate reader, I wanted to pick your communal brains for any experience on this matter. It is odd - we have had FPLCs, drop setting robots, PCs etc in the cold room for years without much problem, but I have scruples about putting a plate reader in frigid environments. I assume that humidity and condensation would be the number 1 threat to the plate reader (aside from yours truly and his merry coworkers), and if you have any advice on how to minimize humidity in the cold environment, I would appreciate any suggestions. Am I wrong to think that most condensation should occur on the heat exchangers of the cold box/cold room which are the coldest spot in the system and therefore humidity should be reasonably low within the chilled volume (unless we frequently open and close the doors to the jungle-like atmosphere of the lab)?
