All equipment must have a legible and easily understood owner/user label.
Equipment that will be or is tagged must have 2 photographs: one with the tag affixed
next to the serial number on the equipment, and one with a wide-angle shot.
Those photograph are sent to the CFOS Facilities Coordinator to add to the inventory
database.
The Facilities Coordinator will populate the Inventory database with all the information
related to purchasing, current and permanent location, ownership and eventual disposition.
Faculty Information
Faculty must adhere a label with your current contact information to the door of your
freezer units. CFOS-specific stickers can be obtained from the facilities coordinator.
Facilities Services provides a specific form that is placed in a plastic sleeve on
your freezer. In the event that the freezer alarm goes off (if your unit has an alarm),
the HVAC technician will call you OR the secondary contact on this form. Download
the form from the Facilities Services website (PDF)
There is also an online field report form that links directly to the HVAC technicians so that they always have current information
for each freezer.
Samples
ALL secondary sample containers must have the ADVISOR’S NAME and SAMPLE YEAR.
Researchers who store samples in common spaces that are located outside their own
laboratory space MUST use the secondary storage container label.
Sample Disposal
Dispose of or transfer your samples to another responsible person when you leave UAF.
Marine mammal samples must be disposed of in accordance with the permit!
Care of your Freezer
Do not store boxes on top of your freezer. This will cause the compressor to work
harder and will shorten the life of the freezer.
