Requests and Forms

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the lab manager or a lab associate to help you with the spill.

Fill out the form on the website and submit it as a request for purchase.

You can email the lab manager if its urgent or find a lab associate to help you.

Always inform someone you are going to be working in the lab. If you are injured/hurt make sure to call someone for immediate help. Find the lab manager and report all details of the incident. I spilled something hazardous, what do I do?

Talk to one of our Bioprocessing professors, they will guide you through the process and submit an experiment log on this website for approval.
