Stephanopoulos:Equipment

This page describes common-use equipment and laboratory areas in the Stephanopoulos Lab. If you are not a lab member and want to use this stuff, chances are that it's OK, but please check with a lab member first!

Main Lab (Building 56)

Gel Staining Area

• SYBR Gold is very dangerous. Please do not carry SYBR Gold contamination outside the area marked with absorbent paper.

HPLC (northwest corner of lab)

• We have a service contract with Waters on the main HPLC unit, the photodiode array (PDA), and the RI detector. If you have issues with the tool, please contact Waters. The service contract also pays for a yearly preventative maintenance (PM) on the tool. A sticker on the left side of the tool states the date when the next PM is due.

Chemicals

• When you receive a new container of chemicals, please write the date of receipt on the container label.
• When you open a new container of chemicals for the first time, please write the date of opening on the container label.

Fume Hoods

• Please do not use fume hoods to evaporate off hazardous chemicals from pipette tips, tubes, etc. Tips and tubes with trace amounts of hazardous chemicals should be placed in an appropriate capped container and the name of the chemical should be added to the container's hazardous waste tag. Currently, we have one container for organic waste in the eastern fume hood. More containers for incompatible chemical types can be obtained from the VWR stockroom if necessary.
