To
All,
A)
Autoclave Training
A
new boiler
was installed on the autoclave and some of the operations are
different than
before and add flush generator process. For safety reasons,
every user must be
trained on the new operations. Please plan to attend the
training event and
sign training list, as Paul
Thieme
will demonstrate proper use.
Training Times
Wednesday, 2:00 PM
Friday, 2:00 PM
Location: Room #237
We
will also
post operation instructions on the autoclave door.
B)
Chemical
Waste Disposal
As a lab,
we are responsible for properly disposing chemical waste.
Especially for toxic
chemicals, please immediately complete the
Hazardous Materials Pickup Request form (include name,
Amount of Waste in
Container, etc.)
and/or the Biomaterials
Pickup Request
Form and submit ASAP. This way, REM can pick up waste
immediately to
prevent our storage of chemical waste. It is important to
properly dispose of
waste to keep our lab environment healthy and safe.
Thanks,
