Steps to buy a chemical
1. Check on the excel sheet in the website before placing an order. 2. After receiving, make sure a copy of the receipt is placed in the receipt folder. 3. If it is a new chemical, an MSDS sheet should definitely be placed in the MSDS folder. Even if it is a re-order, it is suggested to replace the old sheet with a new one to keep it updated. 4. Make sure the chemical is placed in the right rack. There are different shelves for organic and inorganic chemicals, and microorganisms. Flammable chemicals and strong acids go into the flammable rack below the hood. 5. Update the excel sheet on the website to notify other students and leave notes regarding the toxicity of the chemical. 6. Also leave notes regarding your requirements to maintain the chemical. For example, if you want the entire chemical for yourself, or if there is certain specifications regarding the usage you would like other students to follow etc. 7. Make sure you leave a note on the excel sheet if you (if possible, other students outside our lab) are taking the chemical out of the laboratory.
Organic Chemicals
Inorganic Chemicals
List of Instruments
Internal: Managing the Lab
Lab shopping list: lab members, feel free to edit
- Rack for labelling tape
- spatulas, scoops, brushes, hose, weighing boats/paper,parafin paper
- ice maker
- lab chairs
- petri plates
- cloning stuff
Every lab member needs to... (edit)
- add personal inormation if they wish (last name, email, maybe link to their website)
- update the list of materials with what they buy, or know of in the lab.
- add their contributions to the methodologies and instruments sections
- add their contribution to the literature reviews
- verify their #individual responsibilities
- add anything else they think should be on this website
Suggested training program
To keep the lab running smoothly we need an "inhouse training program", developed by all of us through this site, and implemeted by the lab manager. What to train in:
- knowing what maintenance work is expected from each of us within our individual lab area
- knowing what portion of the materials list we are individually responsible for updating
- how to use the folders (labels, etc)
- where the garbage cans go, what goes in them (recycling)
- the "unknown table", how it works
- knowing how to use this website and edit it
- knowing how to participate the the angel news group for the lab
- know website editing etiquette
- go through a rotation to briefly learn everybody else's methodology / instruments
- other ideas? Feel free to add them here...
Individual responsibilities
Lab members, their responsibilities and expertise.
