Gone Fishing

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:21 pm by admin

I work in a lab. We store our cell stocks in a Liquid Nitrogen Cabinet a big drum with a hose connected to a tank that is around -180 degrees. Some of the tubes of cells fell out of their respective boxes and began to float around in the nitrogen. This wouldn’t be a big deal but we can’t see anything because of the fog (same sort of thing as when you put water over dry ice).

Yesterday, we rigged the following contraption to go “fishing” for our lost cells and it was a glorious success.
