It is mandatory to use iLab to reserve equipment. Do not use equipment without reserving time beforehand.

Most equipment requires prior training. Schedule a training session with Todd or Josh.

For scheduling flow cytometry appointments, notify Todd or Josh of a desired time at least one day in advance or at least three days in advance for cell sorting.

Clean up all spills and messes immediately.

Practice common courtesy. Be considerate of other researchers’ time, safety, and ease of equipment usage.

Notify Todd or Josh if you notice any misuse of equipment, scheduling, or reagents.
