Where can I find a new clean lab coat?#

Clean lab coats are stored in the cupboard of the room BT1-E05-502, on the 5th floor. They are sorted by Biosafety Level (BSL1 and BSL2) and sizes. For the larger sizes, you can find them with extra lengths on the sleeves (+15cm).

Clean lab coats are stored in the cupboards of the MUF room, on the 1st floor, close to the Support Biotech Team offices. They are sorted by Biosafety Level (BSL1 and BSL2) and sizes. For the larger sizes, you can find them with extra lengths on the sleeves (+15cm).

What should I do with my dirty lab coat?#

On a regular basis you should bring your lab coat in the tissue bags close to the vending machine on the ground floor in BT1 or BT2.

Remove the pins and empty the pockets.

Someone from the Support Biotech Team will take care to send the lab coats for cleaning.

Pins#

To identify your lab coat as yours, do not forget to pin your pin on it.

Create a ticket to request your pins.
