Glasswash
Full-time Lab Assistant stops by each wet lab to pick up dirty lab glassware from a designated area, wash it and return it to the lab same day. This employee is responsible for ensuring items are returned to proper lab and may assist lab with labeling glassware.
Autoclaving
Lab Assistant picks up items or prepared solutions to be autoclaved from each lab, autoclaves them, and returns to the lab same day. Assistant will also autoclave glassware after washing.
Tissue Culture Rooms
Tissue Culture Rooms are located throughout the laboratory. Please note the custodial staff follows a strict biweekly floor cleaning schedule, otherwise they are not permitted to enter the TC rooms. Therefore each lab is responsible for placing their waste bins outside of the TC room each evening for pick up by the regular custodial staff.
BioHazard Waste Collection
EHS Assistant picks up biohazard waste collection from the red collection bin or designated area in lab and transports to the central collection area for EHS to pick up. Frequency will meet EHS regulations so these bags do not overflow in the lab.
