LAB RULES

-Please ALWAYS clean after yourself, you get a warning when first caught, and buy the group lunch when caught for the 2nd time.

-After your experiments put all shared equipment in the place you got it!!!

-After getting an order and its not yours –ask around whose it is first (after opening it) if it’s yours keep the order slip in a drawer specified for order slips and throw away boxes (unless you really need them). Tell the responsible person to update the inventory list

-Biohazard bags should be taken to second floor when they are full (ask Brad or Erdrin if you don’t know where to throw them away)

-ALWAYS keep the chemical hood area clean (this area is shared with several labs)

-Mark everything (bottles/tubes etc.) with your name, date, and what it is

-Write down in your lab notebook everything you do with date and year – all working protocols should be typed in case someone needs to use them and for ease of email
