[Preplabstudents] Week 3 Info

[Weaver, Tyler]

Hi All,

Window Notes

Please be sure to review the window notes posted on the inside of the metal window frame. These will tell you exactly what you need to hand out, what the waste plan is, and other special info for each experiment.

Lab Attire

Remember that your shoes should have a covered toe and heel area. For this reason, slippers are not an approved lab footwear item. Leggings and shorts are not permitted unless they are covered by sweatpants or scrub pants. Let me know if you have any questions. Please remember that PPE infractions result in corrective action points.

NaOH and White Can Runs

Starting in Week 3, we will be combining NaOH and White can runs into one task on the daily sheet. This should help with efficiency. The white cans are already kept on the top of a large cart. You can place a tub of NaOH on the bottom and tackle both tasks in one trip.

Additional Help

I still need additional personnel during the times listed below. Please let me know if you are able to help us. The times listed in red are the most concern. I would even be willing to consider two students that alternate weeks….. we’re desperate.

Tuesday 1:00pm-2:30pm (need at least one more students)
Tuesday 8:00pm-10:00pm (need at least two more students)
Wednesday 7:30am-11:30am (need at least one more students)
Wednesday 8:00pm-10:00pm (need at least one more students)
Thursday 3:00pm-5:00pm (need at least one more students)
Thursday 8:00pm-10:00pm (need at least 3 more students)
Friday 10:00am-12:30pm (need at least 2 more students)

Door by the Ice Machine

You are permitted to use the door by the ice machine. It’s on the other side of the wall behind Linda’s desk. This should be the door used when you are wearing a lab coat or have chemicals.

Handwashing

Be sure to wash your hands after completing a lab task. Handwashing can also help to prevent illnesses and the spread of infections to others<https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/why-handwashing.html>.

Experiment CPC

CPC is a unique experience for everyone involved :) When working in the window, you will need to refill the ice in the water buckets every 30 minutes. The easiest way to do this is by setting a timer for 30 minutes. When it goes off grab the ice refill beaker, scoop up some ice from the cooler in the hall, and dump it into the bucket in the sink. You should also check the liquid level in the heating flask. If it’s less than half full, remove the receiving flask and empty it into the heating flask. Restart the timer when you return to the window. Please ask for help if you are unsure of anything. I have attached the CPC SOP to this message for your reference

Best,
Tyler
