Hi all,
Bio-Link Depot is currently holding a FREE Biosafety Cabinet for us, that
would be perfect to start up CCL's BSL-2 lab room. That means we'd be able
to work with human cell lines and samples, and to isolate microorganisms
with interesting properties (such as bioluminescent bacteria from squid
skin, or oil degrading bacteria from soil).
Catch is... we need to go get it! And soon, because there are other groups
interested as well. The Bio-Link Depot is just North of the SF airport,
only half an hour away if you can avoid traffic. We've been advised to pick
up during daylight, so as to avoid interactions with the security around
the airport.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP OUT, and when during daytime works for you.
The current plan is to rent a UHaul truck with a loading ramp, and winch it
up (the cabinet is on heavy casters). But if someone has a truck with a
lift gate, that would be even better. Marc - the truck we used last time,
was that Rikke's?
Thanks!
Patrik

It was indeed - sadly, said truck is currently out of (heavy hauling)
commission due to missing motor mount bushing and worn-down leaf springs on
the suspension. So no go from here. :-(
As for renting a truck, be aware that only the largest of the U-Haul fleet
are full 8' height, so you may want to send a scout to see whether the
cabinet can potentially be disassembled. Also, I volunteer to drive if you
need a chaffeur who's used to moving big-ass trucks around.

Thanks, Rikke!
Luckily, the cabinet is only 79.5 inch tall - which is one of the reasons
it's so perfect to fit into our fairly low-ceilinged lab room (not to
mention getting it through door openings!)
Uhaul has a 15' truck with a 7'2" tall inside dimension. It doesn't have
a
lift gate but has a buit in loading ramp and the bed is low to the ground:

Alright - moving day for our latest BioSafety Cabinet is set to *THIS
SUNDAY MORNING*.The plan is to meet at the Bio-Link Depot at 10am.
Alternatively, a few of us could meet 9:30am at the Omni to pick up
passengers.
We'll need at least 5 people to help move this thing, since it's probably
600lb or more. So if you can help out, that would be greatly appreciated!
The cabinet is on wheels, so the main issue will be getting it in and out
of the relatively low U-Haul truck bed. Once we get it back off again, we
should be able to just roll it into CCL.
Let me know if you'll be able to help, so we can get a head count. We do
need to pick the thing up *this week*, otherwise the people at the Bio-Link
Depot are likely to let it go to one of the many other groups that have
their eye on it...
Thanks!

Looks like I'll need to pick up the U-Haul truck at 9:30 tomorrow. So if
someone needs a ride, please meet me there rather than at the Omni.
9:30 am at 640 W MacArthur Blvd. Probably can't take more than one or maybe
two passengers in the cab of the truck.
Thanks!

Ok, here's the plan:
I'll be at the Omni before 9:30, then go pick up the truck at U-Haul on
McArthur and MLK (640 McArthur). I may swing by the Omni again with the
truck after 9:30. The truck probably only fits 2 or 3 in the cab though.
You can also join us around 10am at the Bio-Link Equipment Depot, just
North of SFO. Google Maps shows it in the correct location
<https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Omni+Oakland+Commons,+Shattuck+Avenue,+Oakland,+CA/Bio-Link+Equipment+Depot,+Clearwater+Dr,+San+Francisco,+CA+94128/@37.635753,-122.3841906,228m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x80857de1eb0c0627:0x8a7ce667f2da71ce!2m2!1d-122.264128!2d37.835004!1m5!1m1!1s0x808f7823e382fff1:0x7dea38fe52103021!2m2!1d-122.383529!2d37.635523>.
Head 101 S and exit just before the Airport, on North Access Rd, towards
the Bay.Take a left on Clearwater Dr. If you see part of an old jet in a
parking lot, you're there! We should be around the back of the building.
Call me if you get lost or need to coordinate: (925) 989 3869
If you happen to have any work gloves, steel-toed booths, tie-down straps
or a hand winch, bring em!
Thanks!
