Common service rooms

The mechanical workshop

The mechanical workshop is dedicated to the fabrication of machines for research. Moreover, you can find there devices and tools you might find useful for your research (however you cannot use them yourself). If you have any problems, do not hesitate to contact the person in charge of your team and ask him your question.
You can find as well, all the information about the workshop/studio here.

The solvents

Responsible: Marie-Céline Samy Arlaye
The H066 room (accessible through the basement to the outside) is dedicated to 5L cans of solvents. You will find inside a notebook, where you must put your first name, and what you are taking (thus the billing will be done to your team). If there is no more of certain solvents, you need to inform the responsible.
When you finish a cardboard box, fold it and throw it in the paper bin at the back of the building.

Available in almost any lab on a specific tap.

Pressurized air

Responsible Pressurized air: François Courtier
The pressurized air is available in every lab. In case of problems, contact the responsible.

Nitrogen and argon GAS

Responsibles distribution center: Jean-Philippe Lamps et Laurence Oswald

Instructions for using the machine:

• EMPTY THE POCKETS OF THE LAB COATS. There should be nothing left!
• Put the detergent in the loading compartment II (1st on the left) or directly in the drum
• Select the program with the program selector on the right (for gowns, the "hygiene" program is suitable)
• Press the "start/pause" button

You can then use the dryer next door to dry your blouses.

Liquid Nitrogen

Responsible in case of problem: Marc Schmutz You can find Liquid Nitrogen on the ground floor, in front of the Mechanical Workshop. If the liquid nitrogen tank is empty, you must take it outside, on the platform (emergency door located to the right of the fire escape) and send an email to cryogenie@unistra.fr stipulating that a Dewar flask of Nitrogen must be filled for the institute.
The service is at the end of the Cronenbourg campus and is often replaced for the next day.
