General laboratory practices

• Closed toe shoes, long pants and a lab coat should be worn whenever working in the laboratories (exposing your legs and feet can result in injury if something falls). The use of scented shampoos, perfumes, colognes, etc. should be avoided when working around flies / rodents / people.
• Each lab member is expected to learn how to clean/sanitize equipment after use.
• Please let the the lab manager know when needs to be replaced or acquired. Orders are usually submitted at the beginning of each quarter, so try to plan accordingly.
• If a lab member for some reason wants to purchase something out of pocket with their own money, it can probably be reimbursed, but this should be the exception, not the rule. Please ask the lab manager before purchasing anything.
