Data management is essential in a flow cytometry (FCM) shared resource laboratory (SRL) for the integrity of collected data and its long‐term preservation, as described in the Cytometry publication from 2016, ISAC Flow Cytometry Shared Resource Laboratory (SRL) Best Practices (Barsky et al.: Cytometry Part A 89A(2016): 1017–1030). The SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic introduced an array of challenges in the operation of SRLs. The subsequent laboratory shutdowns and access restrictions brought to the forefront well‐established practices that withstood the impact of a sudden change in operations and illuminated areas that need improvement. The most significant challenges from a data management perspective were data access for remote analysis and workstation management. Notably, lessons learned from this challenge emphasize the importance of safeguarding collected data from loss in various emergencies such as fire or natural disasters where the physical hardware storing data could be directly affected. Here, we describe two data management systems that have been successful during the current emergency created by the pandemic, specifically remote access and automated data transfer. We will discuss other situations that could arise and lead to data loss or challenges in interpreting data. © 2020 International Society for Advancement of Cytometry

危机期间数据管理的关键步骤

如 2016 年的流式细胞术出版物《ISAC 流式细胞术共享资源实验室 (SRL) 最佳实践》中所述，数据管理在流式细胞术 (FCM) 共享资源实验室 (SRL) 中对于收集的数据的完整性及其长期保存至关重要（Barsky 等人：Cytometry Part A 89A（2016）：1017–1030）。SARS-CoV-2 大流行给 SRL 的运营带来了一系列挑战。随后的实验室关闭和访问限制将成熟的实践带到了最前沿，这些实践经受住了运营突然变化和需要改进的照明领域的影响。从数据管理的角度来看，最重大的挑战是远程分析和工作站管理的数据访问。尤其，从这一挑战中吸取的经验教训强调了保护收集到的数据在各种紧急情况下丢失的重要性，例如火灾或自然灾害，其中存储数据的物理硬件可能受到直接影响。在这里，我们描述了两个在当前由大流行造成的紧急情况下取得成功的数据管理系统，特别是远程访问和自动数据传输。我们将讨论可能出现并导致数据丢失或解释数据挑战的其他情况。© 2020 国际细胞术进步协会 特别是远程访问和自动数据传输。我们将讨论可能出现并导致数据丢失或解释数据挑战的其他情况。© 2020 国际细胞术进步协会 特别是远程访问和自动数据传输。我们将讨论可能出现并导致数据丢失或解释数据挑战的其他情况。© 2020 国际细胞术进步协会
