Our second largest lab, catering to biology-based sample preparation and crystallography.

This lab is OGTR PC2 certified and has specific behavioral requirements that must be adhered to - we have created a short online lab induction that covers these requirements.

Note that GMO may be restricted to laboratory work only as our beamlines are not certified. Speak to your beamline scientist as soon as possible to confirm prior to submitting your EA.

Some equipment requires additional training and authorization to use - see our equipment page.

*AKTA belongs to BSX/SAXS - Use must be discussed in advance of EA submission with beamline scientists and lab staff.

Requires booking in advance (>2 weeks).

Cell Waste treated with antibiotics

Any liquid waste containing antibiotics should be decanted into the designated waste bottles for autoclaving (denaturing) and then once cooled, flushed down the sink with water.

Waste for autoclave cannot contain bleach or large amounts of alcohol-based solvents. Ensure waste label is filled out with contents.

Any liquid waste that has not been treated with antibiotics can have bleach added to denature and once >15mins has elapsed, flushed down the sink with water.

Ask lab staff for assistance if unsure.

Samples/packaging/chemicals brought onsite must be removed from this lab and returned to your home institute following the conclusion of lab use.

Minor waste (e.g. paper towel) can be disposed of in the clinical waste bin near the door, serological pipette tips must go in designated bins provided. All sharp items must go in a sharps container.

Some dedicated liquid waste containers can be provided (e.g. formalin; crystal violet etc.) but must be discussed prior to EA approval.

Ask lab staff for assistance if unsure.

Autoclaving is available if sterilization (e.g. tips) is required - include in your EA, additional training is required
