If you only wish to hand in samples for characterization and you do not plan to work yourself in the biolab, you can do this via our material/compound testing request form in OpenIris (for OpenIris registration see protocol Using OpenIris). Please note, that characterization of compounds/materials is costly, the request also includes the obligation of coverage of the costs for the measurements (from 50€ per sample, organism and type of assay).
Biolab Access
To get access AND before YOU start work in the S2 SupraFAB Biolab (BA unit) or S2 Optical Microscopy (OM), follow the 6 steps (click on the blue items to get more information):
- Book a biolab On-site Intro (dates: see table) based on the biolab agreement with the Biolab Technicians by sending and email to the respective biolab technician (booking: see table).
Fill the access & transponder form with work safety questionaire (3. page) and bring it with you to the On-site Intro (afterwards hand in to Katharina Tebel (office 103) or Achim Wiedking (office 102) to get transponder access).
Note: The first and third page need to be signed by your reseach group head!- (a) Participate in person in the S2 Biosafety & Laser safety instruction (next: January 15th 2024, 10am Biosafety & 11am Laser Safety, room 119) OR
(b) if you missed the last safety instruction, watch the provisional S2 Biosafety instruction, and prove this with a short exam at the end of the also mandatory on-site intro (book here).
Note: To keep access, it is mandatory to attend the S2 safety instruction in person at least once a year. - Become familiar with the safety guidelins, instructions and rules.
- Register for the instrument booking system OpenIRIS by follwoing the pdf protocols on the OpenIRIS Booking System page.
Note: If you have no FUB Email, apply with help of the your research group for a guest zedat Email account. - Subscribe to the Biolab Email List and join the biolab whatsapp group for fast exchange of information.
If you passed the on-site intro and you got transponder access some more action for full access is needed:
- Get access to the BCP-storage network drives to safe and transfer your measurement data.
- To access the OM facility microscopes, follow the instructions on the Optical Microscopy Wiki.
- In case you need to access the microfluidics, bacterial or virus lab, you need an additional practical training by the respective lab responsible person and you need to obey the S2 rules and to register pathogens in the wiki. Hazardous substances must be also registers in chemical data base of FUB the CLAKS.
- In case you work with devices that contain laser e.g. Flow Cytometer/FACS, confocal/STED micrscopes or MST, you need a laser safety intro from Bianca Höfer.
For printing, please use the Multi-User FollowMe-Printers (currently you have to use the one located in Takustr. 3 or any other institute building).
More information about SupraFAB you can find on the SupraFAB homepage and the SupraFAB wiki.
