The following is being sent on behalf of Claudio Stasolla:
___________________________________
All,
As a Department we are very lucky to have shared and Department-purchased equipment to facilitate our research programs.
Proper maintenance of this equipment allows our programs to function, however it requires that each of us records the usage accurately in log books, where applicable. This applies, for example, to the liquid nitrogen and the Milli-q water purification system.
Sadly, this has not been always the case. Water and liquid nitrogen usage often remains unaccounted for. This results in placing the costs on others that are not using the resources as the department is forced to make up the difference. Please be diligent in recording the amounts used whenever there is a system in place for this purpose. If this continues, we may have to police and abusers, when identified, may not be allowed to use that shared equipment.
