Good morning, Nebraska Nova shared their plans with me about the RO water system over the year end break. It will be on as normal this week, but they will shut it down on Monday, Dec. 22, at the end of the day (around 4:00 pm) and leave it off the entire week. Since we are shut down the rest of the week, I said this should not be a problem. This will avoid having to deal with problems in the system over the holiday.
They will then turn it on again on Monday, December 29, so it will be operating that week before we open on January 5. This means that any graduate students that may be working over the shutdown will be able to use the autoclaves and glassware washers.
The new RO system is planned for installation in 2026. As soon as I hear more I will let you know. Happy Holidays, everyone! Jayne Stratton
