ICCB-L Equipment Scheduling Guidelines

Scheduling: Reserve up to 3 hours during peak hours (8am–6pm); contact the screening team for additional time. Only book what you need, and update the schedule promptly if your plans change.

Access & Training: All users must complete staff-led training and the lab-specific checklist before being granted access. Do not train others or share your ID.

BSL-2 Lab Requirements: Complete BSL-2, hazardous waste, and bloodborne pathogen training at your institution before visiting. While in the facility:

  • No food, food waste, or packaging permitted
  • Biohazardous waste must be disinfected/inactivated before disposal
  • Wear gloves on keyboards, computers, and common surfaces; remove gloves when entering/exiting the screening room
  • Wear appropriate PPE at all times

Refer to the ICCB-L Biosafety Handbook for more details.

Data Storage: Do not store data on local hard drives. Use your HMS home drive or another secure location.

Non-Screening Users: Training is available on all instruments for a per-user, per-instrument fee, plus hourly usage fees. The Combi, Plate Washer, and PlateLoc are billed as annual access. See the Fee Summary for details.
