Obtaining lab services requires written requests, submitted to the laboratory personnel in advance of need.
Requests for the preparation of lab materials may be made on the Lab Prep Request form. Requests for lab materials may also be submitted in a format of your choice, so long as the request is in writing and includes the same information requested on the form.
Instructions for the Completion of a Lab Prep Request Form
1. Provide current date and date the materials are needed.
2. Provide the name of the person making the request, and the name of the lab course that the prep is for.
3. List all materials needed for the lab. Include quantities of chemicals and supplies needed, and any special instructions that may be important. Be as accurate as possible in the amounts of chemicals and solutions needed, so as to minimize waste.
4. Provide any safety precautions that should be taken while preparing the materials, and any special waste disposal instructions if known.
These forms must be submitted a minimum of two weeks in advance. Last minute requests will be fulfilled if time, supplies, and funds allow.
