Lab access is restricted, but training is available to University of Florida students, both in the Chemistry Department and outside the department. Currently, out-of-department users cannot be granted building keys for afterhours access. Non-chemistry users should be sure to conduct all experimentation during normal weekday business hours (ca. Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm).
Training is being scheduled accordingly. We are beta-testing a booking system for faster training times. Please anticipate 30-60 minute trainings. A scheduling availability form will be sent to prospective trainees after completing the training request form so a suitable training time block can be scheduled.
