• CNSI Microfluidics Lab & Innovation Workshop COVID-19 Scheduling Information

Work in Elings Hall under the Campus’ COVID Phase 3 guidelines will be much different than they were before the shutdown. Research will ramp-up slowly so that we can be certain that the work environment is as safe as possible. Some of the most significant changes:

• Occupancy within Elings Hall will be limited. Safe distancing, disinfection, health screening and PPE requirements are described in the SOPs.
• Occupancy in Microfluidics and the Innovation Workshop will be limited to one person at a time in each lab. If there are no problems we may increase this to two people at a time, safely separated.
• Researchers need to schedule their lab time in advance: in general schedule requests will be due on Tuesday night for the week beginning the following Monday. Schedule changes will be made using FBS
• There will be no regularly scheduled training classes - special circumstances will be addressed individually.

The uFL and IW are be open from 9am - midnight. Users who have completed the CNSI and IW/uFL attestations may schedule work time in the labs using FBS.
