Hi everyone
It's been a bit confusing lately trying to figure out incubator space and booking space so I've made a new calendar for November that hopefully might simplify things a little more. The paper copies of the calendar on the incubator doors is what we will use instead of the online system (there's been some cases of double booking when people use the two different booking methods). Each day on the calendar has been split into 4 sections that represent one quarter of the incubator. The middle incubator (#2) will have one tube rack that is always reserved for tubes for smaller experiments, and can be used by anyone with 10 tubes or less (at any time). This quarter of the incubator has been shaded grey on the calendar and can't be booked for larger experiments. We can try out this method for November and see if it works. If not we can try to come up with something different, or go back to the old way.
Another reminder about booking equipment is regarding the HPLC. We commonly put a limit of booking 2 consecutive days on one HPLC so that everyone can use the machines in a timely manner and share all the equipment. If it's not being used, it can be booked for longer periods of time, or in really rare, time depended circumstances. Please try to stick to this 2 day limit.
thanks!
Krista
