Division Managed Equipment

Each Division occupied building has equipment rooms with autoclaves and glassware washers. Training on proper and safe use of autoclaves and glassware washers is required. For more information, please refer to the Autoclave & Glassware training page.

Please contribute to the general housekeeping of all common rooms. Clean up spilled glassware washer soap or broken glass; dispose of all of your trash. Place all biohazardous waste in red waste containers. Do not pour melted agar down the sink drain.

For floods, clogged sinks, or equipment problems, call Facilities Management (FM) at (858) 534-2930.

When reporting problems to FM, submit the following information: Building and Room Number, Problem, Unit Type (glassware washer, autoclave, glassware dryer), and Unit Make.
