Notes
- To minimize a last minute overload on dirty glassware, start going through your solutions and getting rid of stuff that you know you or someone else will not use before the move so that the glassware can be washed throughout the month.
- Only take solutions that are important / difficult to remake (stock solutions, RNase free, etc); all others throw away before move.
- Make sure all of your stuff in the fridge and freezers are in sealed, labeled boxes; no loose items as stuff will be turned on end.
- Make sure you get rid of all stuff that you do not need in the fridges and freezers; consolidate your stuff as we will not be able to plug in all of our freezers in the truck.
- Go through your drawers and throw away stuff you don't need, or put into general stock if will be shipped, or pack in own personal box; the lab should be completely cleaned out when we leave.
