LORRE April Safety Update
by Xingya Liu 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

*LORRE April Safety Issue* 04/08/2013 REM has recently performed all lab hood testing and maintenance, and the Potter Building Deputy Phil Qualio is helping us with the sash cables order. The hood repairs will be completed by zones. This is a good opportunity for everyone to review the proper safety steps for using the lab hoods. _LORRE Lab Hood List:_ *Room #* *Amount* *Hood Type* *Notes* 359 1 General 336 1 General 335 1 Biological 333 3 General 256 0 - 254 1 General 252 1 General 237 1 General 237A 2 Biological 236 0 - 235 1 General 233 0 - 231 1 General 138 0 - B38 1 General _Lab Hood Operating Procedures_: 1. Use hood ONLY as marked on survey sticker (near sash) 2. Use hood only after verifying exhaust operation (Note approved working height for sash) 3. Do not block baffle slots 4. Keep all work and equipment 6" behind sash 5. If sash does not move smoothly, request maintenance immediately 6. Lower sash to 1" or as low as practical when hood is not in use 7. Wear eye protection, a lab coat, closed-toe shoes and disposable gloves to protect yourself as well as your samples from contamination. 8. Clean hood interior regularly _Biological Safety Cabinet only_: 9. Turn on the BSC fan 10 minutes before beginning work to allow adequate air filtration. 10. Keep the work area of the BSC free of unnecessary equipment or supplies. Clutter inside the BSC may impede proper airflow and the level of protection provided. Consider using wire racks or shelving to increase airflow around front and rear grills. 11. Clean all hood surfaces using 70% EtOH before and after use. Thank you for your cooperation, LORRE Safety Committee

LORRE HPLC Recharge Center Announcement
by Xingya Liu 23 May '13

23 May '13

All, Due to the variety of operating conditions required for HPLC system #2 using the C-18 column we have devised a system to provide fair and efficient operation to all users.We will alternate the system operating conditions on a weekly basis.We will set up the system for the following week on Friday, which will allow the system to equilibrate over the weekend and be ready to run on Monday.Let us know if you need us to modify the schedule and we would be happy to accommodate your needs, but the goal is to avoid changing the column and mobile phase every day.While the operating conditions were designed for each experiment, you are welcome to run samples whenever you want.Here is our tentative schedule: _Week of 5/27: C_3 Bio program_ C18 column (Agilent, XDB-C18, 4.6x50 mm, 1.8 micrometers), UV detector, and 2 mobile phases: 1) 0.1% Formic Acid in DI H20 and 2) 100% methanol _Week of 6/3: Fernanda Marisa da Cunha's Feruloyl Esterase Assay_ C18 column (EC 250/4.6 NUCLEOSIL 100-7 C18), UV detector, and two mobile phases: 1) 50 mL methanol and .25 mL acetic acid per L water and 2) .25 mL acetic acid per L methanol _Week of 6/10: He Shang-Guessmix Compounds for HPLC Analysis_ C18 column (EC 250/4.6 NUCLEOSIL 100-7 C18), UV detector, and methanol and H2O mobile phase At this point we will plan on repeating this cycle, but if there is a better method of sharing the column we will modify our strategy. Thank you, LORRE HPLC Recharge Center

FW: EFRC 1001-Word Challenge
by Mosier, Nathan S 20 May '13

FYI Since Isaac brought this idea up in the LORRE seminar, I though you would all be interested in the attached challenge. The Dept. of Energy office of Basic Energy Science is challenging the 46 Energy Frontier Research Centers around the country, including the Purdue lead C3Bio, to summarize their center efforts using only the Ten-Hundred and One most common words in the English language (with a couple of replacements to the original list, like energy).

Please see the notice below: On Wednesday May 22nd, the electricity will be shut down to the Potter building between 9:15pm and 1:15am on May 23rd. There will be some limited electricity for critical equipment (ultra-low temperature freezers etc), but not for anything else during this time. You will need to plan your work accordingly if you have experiments that will run overnight. We need your help in making sure that you shut down all electrically powered equipment before leaving on May 22nd. Critical equipment (HPLC, GC, etc) should also be unplugged during the electrical shutdown. Linda and Rick will coordinate these efforts, but everyone must do their part. If you have any questions, please ask me. Thank you, Nate -------------------------------------------- Nathan Mosier Associate Professor Department of Ag. and Bio.
