Senior Design 2008-09 Instrument Access etc.

If you envisage using instruments (SEM, Raman, Nanoindenter, TEM, MicroCT, FTIR, XRD) which are located in the Centralized Research Facility (CRF) in Bossone then you need to talk to your Advisor about whether they have a user subscription for the instrument(s) you wish use during your projects, and also determine whether you need training.

 Also, to work in MSE Dept. labs or to work in the CRF it is necessary for everyone to update their Drexel Lab Safety training (an annual renewal), and to do that visit www.drexelsafetyandhealth.com and select the "Training" tab at the top, then select the "General Lab/Chemical Safety Training" modules. You will need to enter your E-mail address etc. at some point in the process. CRF users are required to show proof of having completed the on-line lab safety training...and to do that you should print out a hard copy of the final screen of your session, which will show the various modules you've completed. If you will be working with biohazards then you should also complete the Biosafety modules. 

 An alternative link to the on-line training can be found at: www.drexelresearchtraining.com 

Some additional lab safety information, downloadable files and useful links are also available via the MSE web page...just use the "Search MSE" function and enter the word "Safety".
