All,

We have performed maintenance and recertification for all chemical fume hoods, biological safety cabinets (BSCs), and laminar flow clean benches (LFCBs). If you are planning to use the low-pressure steam hood in lab #237, please note the posted procedure (which was posted at #237 hood). Please keep all hoods organized: Do not store chemicals, glassware, nor containers, tools in them long time.

It is their responsibility to stock consumables (e.g. gloves, paper towels), chemicals, maintain cleanliness, and organize. Below people be assigned to be Mayor:

Special thanks to Joan Goetz for cleaning the LORRE lab coats. This is of great use to us and we appreciate her help.

Thank you,
