To get access to the OM facility as new user, follow the procedure below step by step.
In case, your group never used the OM facility before ask your research group head to register to the booking system OpenIris via the request "Register with BioSupraMol/SupraFAB (BCP) @ FU-Berlin" and to contact the core-facility coordinator Mathias Dimde for establishing group access to the BCP-storage.
- Participate in person in the annual SupraFAB safety briefing (next: June 3rd 2024 at10am, room 119); in case you need access before, watch the recorded safety briefing & become familiar with the safety guidelins, instructions and rules & biolab agreement.
Note: If you only want ti use the Leica SP8-2 located in Takustr. 6 contact AG Heyd for information about the safety briefing. - Watch the video about confocal microscopy and the OM video tutorial.
Make an appointment with the Keyuser* of your research group, to get practical training (2-3 session with your own samples) & an intro in the OM Guidelines, the BioSupraMol User Guidelines, data handling (network) as well as the SupraFAB House Rules. The successful training need to be confimed from the Keyuser by sending an email to Katharina Achazi and Marta Maglione.
Note: In case your group do not have a Keyuer or you want to use the ZEISS AiryScan confocal with PicoQuant FLIM/FCS module or the Abberior STED microscope, contact Marta Maglione or Katharina Achazi; for the Nicon TIRF microscopes contact Stephan Block.Fill the transponder form with work safety questionaire (3. page), let it sign by your research group head 6 afterwards by Marta Maglione or Katharina Achazi bring it to the On-site Intro and finally hand in to Katharina Tebel (office 103) or Achim Wiedekind (office 102) to get the requested permissions or a transponder.
Note: Scientific guests as well as non-scientific staff such as service personal from companies also need to get introduced by one of the genetic engeeneering project managers of the Gen-Anlage 92/14: Katharina Achazi, Stefanie Wedepohl, Marta Maglione, Daniel Lauster, Dennis Nürnberg or Christian Freund.

The documentation forms and permission forms need to be stored in the repsective folder in office 111.
*Keyuser

If there is no active Keyuser, choose in agreement with the research group head a new Keyuser that will get trained from the OM staff but need to stay for at least 2-3 years and should be experienced in optical (confocal) microscopy.
If you passed the training and safety briefing, more action for full access is needed:
- (Optional) In case you do NOT have a FUB Email, apply with help of the your cooperating FUB research group for a guest zedat account.
