You will need to run the faucets in your lab for a bit to clear any air from the lines and flush the lines out. We should be back to full capacity by tomorrow morning. The basement autoclave will be functional, but the 3rd, 4th & 5th floor ones will be out until Monday. The service tech is scheduled to come get them back online on Monday. Because we are all going to be sharing one full-sized autoclave tomorrow, please prioritize only the things you need to finish your research this week, media/glassware etc. Any trash disposal should wait until all 4 are back up on Monday. Please let me or Scott know if you run into any issues.
