Multidisciplinary Laboratory Equipment

An inventory of all equipment purchased for the Multidisciplinary Laboratories is available to the instructors. Manuals for all instruments are available but should not be removed from the laboratories. Please consult the MDL Director about any new equipment requirements. Technicians are not normally available to assist in showing slides or films. If a projectionist is needed, prior arrangements should be made to hire a student for the necessary time period.

When equipment is not in use for teaching, it may be loaned for research use within the Division upon the following conditions:

• The equipment will be loaned upon written request of a professor who will assume all responsibility for its care and return. No equipment will be loaned to students, assistants or associates
• The MDL Director must approve each request.
• It is the responsibility of the borrower to pick up and return the equipment. Any costs involved in moving the equipment will be charged to the borrower.
• Equipment must be returned upon 24 hours notice.
• Equipment should be returned in perfect operating order. Any repairs necessary to restore the equipment to its original condition will be charged to the research funds of the borrower.
• Any service required during the period of loan will be paid by the research funds of the borrower. If an instrument is covered by a maintenance contract, the borrower may be asked to pay a fair share of the costs from his research funds
