Training

Appropriate training is essential for both Health & Safety reasons as well as to minimise potential damage to the machines and rotors. Machines must only be used by authorised users. All new members of staff and students are required to attend a training session. They will then be added to the authorised users list.Training is provided by Lot Doucet biol-infrastructure-group@york.ac.uk For new staff/students, details are included in the Induction Pack. For existing users, training will be provided on request if you are not on the list of approved users.

Rotors are allocated to a specific machine and must not be moved. If the local machine does not have the required rotor, then book another machine that does.

Instructions:

  • Fill in your name and telephone extension
  • In the description box put the name of the rotor used and a brief description of the sample
  • Fill in your Group or PI
  • Press save
  • Please remember the log sheets still need filling in when you use the machine.

Log Books

A decision on whether to retain individual machines is based on the actual level of use that is recorded in the log books - low use machines will either be re-located or not replaced. It is therefore important that the log books are filled in to record specific information about the actual runs undertaken. Please remember to fill in your group and workorder details and any rotor details if you have used a rotor from a different machine (Ultras only).

Charges

  • Levied at a flat rate of £15 per run.
  • Booking & log book information will be used to calculate the number of runs
  • Will be collected monthly
