[Preplabstudents] Spring 2024- Week 5

[Weaver, Tyler]

Hi Friends!

This week is lighter than normal. We’re giving Monday a chance to catch up. When we don’t have much going on we will be working on locker checks and other housekeeping items to better prepare us for the rest of the semester.

Experiment Notes-Refer to the window notes for additional details.

LLT- Be prepared to hand out lots of burets, pipets, blue bulbs, and blue stoppers. Remember that the pipets and blue bulbs are available on the window cart. Please refill the window cart when things start to get low- this goes for all items on the window cart, not just the pipets and bulbs. Blue stoppers are in one of the drawers within the window room.

The 0.44 M NaOH carboy should be kept on the special carboy spill tray. If the drip tray gets full, let us know so that we can take care of it.

Keep an eye on the buret reading cards when completing your lab readiness checks. Refills are available behind the whiteboards.

Other Important Information-

Metal salts drum gauge

We’ve had a couple of students ask some questions about the gauge on the metal salts barrel. Its normal for the gauge to not move until the barrel is nearly full. You’ll know the barrel is full when the red ring is at the same height as the blue ring.

Please be sure to place filled in waste tags in the plastic bin beside the barrel the waste was dumped into.

Blank waste tags, and a few extra zip ties are available on the post where we keep the pink and yellow gather signs.

Lab debris, glass, and spill kit barrels

As mentioned in the GroupMe, we need to segregate our lab debris waste. We keep barrels for plastics, glass, and paper. The blue sticker on the lid indicates what should go in the barrel. You can also always take a peek into the barrel to see what should go into it.

Dumping waste after a run

I mentioned this in a previous email. Please be sure to dump your waste after completing your waste run. Yes, one person needs to wear the dumping suit. The only time its acceptable to not dump waste is if its after 9:30pm on nights we are open until 10pm or on a Friday if its after 6:00pm.

Window items

There is a directory of where items are placed in the window. Please consult this directory before sending a message in the GroupMe. Alec and Sophie will also be adding shelf positions to commonly needed items on the window notes.

Best,
Tyler
