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

SHM
Metals will be in a plastic box with a yellow label- they could be on the reagent cart or on the bench near Hood A. Cups and lids will be in a red dispenser by the balances. Additional cups and lids are available in the cabinet under the benches closest to Hood A. When completing lab readiness checks, please keep an eye on the cups and lids, refill them as necessary.

CYC
This is a quick one! pH paper will be on the reagent carts. If more pH paper is needed it can be obtained from the window cart. TAs will pick up samples of CuO at the start of lab. These will be kept in the labeled bin on the unknown shelf. Unknown bins should not be removed from the unknown shelf.

CLK
This one should be quicker than in past years, but don’t be surprised if they take the whole lab session. Flip thermometers, timers, and rulers are all now in the student drawers. Extra thermometers and replacement batteries will be in the window. This one usually uses a bunch of spill kits. We’ll be ramping up the number kept in each window for the week. Keep on top of them.

LLT
Be prepared to hand out lots of burets, pipets, pipet pumps, and blue stoppers. Remember that the pipets and pipet pumps 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 pumps. 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.

XUF Day 2
We will be moving a large instrument into Hood A of 330. A tank of acetylene will also be clamped to the bench near this hood. While the instrument is in this hood, the orange bucket will temporarily be placed under Hood A.


Other Important Information-

Trash Cans

Moving forward, we will be pulling the trash cans out of all labs each night so they can be emptied. Each morning, those doing lab checks will need to return the trash cans to their proper location.

Security

When closing a floor, be sure that all labs are locked up. If there are two people assigned to the window, one person should lock the lab doors, the other person should later check that they are all locked.

If a lab is not being used, it needs to be locked. If you are completing a task that necessitates unlocking a room, please relock the room when you are done.

We cannot leave the prep lab unlocked and unattended. If you are the last person in the office/lab and need to go somewhere please have someone come down to babysit the lab, or grab key #1 in Keyth, and lock up while you are gone.

Pipet Pumps

If a pipet pump seems to be “leaky” the student should take it the window and get a new one. The leaky pump should be placed in the appropriate bin for Sarah and I to look at.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Best,
Tyler
