Immunohistochemistry Facility Rules

Rules and Regulations

  • 1. This is a shared CVRC Facility not a core in the traditional sense and staff will assist you based on scheduling availability.

  • i. Secondary priority is given to publication or abstract deadlines
  • b. Member faculty are on a first come first serve basis and may be bumped for grant or abstract deadlines at any time.
  • 2. A PTAEO MUST be provided along with specific instructions on work needed and timeframe prior to being approved. Staff will provide you with an estimated time to complete based on current workloads and you will need to inform them of a go or no go.
  • a. You will be charged monthly the % of time used of staff time only.
  • 3. No consumables are furnished, i.e. bring your own blades, slides, boxes, etc.
  • a. CVRC Histology Core is NOT responsible for consumables left in the lab or in the labs refrigerator(s).
  • 4. Be aware of your scheduled time and be considerate of those who have signed up after you.

  • 5. Make sure you know how to operate the equipment before using.
  • a. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

  • Microscopes are turned off and covered.
  • 8. Food and drink are never allowed in the histology areas.
  • 9. If in doubt about something, ask Melissa Bevard (Core Manger) what is appropriate, rather than moving ahead and potentially getting yourself in trouble.
  • 10. This list is only a small set of guidlines for you to use. If you'll use common sense and consideration for others the facility should operate smoothly.
  • a. If you do not follow these rules you will be warned and if infractions continue, then you will be barred from using the facility. For scheduling and questions please contact Melissa Bevard 4-2614.
