8   C02 piping & regulator Praxair has proposed regulators and switchover (manifold) costing $950.00. Either ESI or Praxair will install. ESI to install CO2 piping to BSC and 3 other locations. 4/27/07 update: Praxair to install. Praxair tech or rep to be asked to visit campus to see lab, estimate gas usage rate, possible low CO2 alarm. Prax Air rep Luis Mendez. Plan tank delivery schedule around rate of use. CO2 system to be sized for four (?) stacks of 2 incubators Need to determine how long a cylinder of gas will last for 8 incubators. Brent Kolhede may be able to advise. Check with Praxair for alarm advice. Praxair has submitted new quote that includes remote alarm for $1,550 plus tax.
      ---------------------------------------------
9   C02 low alarm Install an alarm to Rm 288 for CO2 depletion. Depletion should sound alarm noise in 288 and also go to physical plant or dispatch. Bob recommends that an additional monitoring CO2 cylinder pressures, gas lines and incubator operations and be run to a web page with trending. The site could also email lab staff when values get close to alarms points to ensure changeouts are done before an alarm is given. An alarm is generally a bad thing. Check with Praxair for low gas alarm that is integrated into manifold. 5/18: Praxair has submitted new quote that includes regulators, switchover & remote alarm: $1,550 plus tax.

31 Labs Biohazard waste Status: 5/4/07 EH&S says a medical waste contract exists for PBSci, Cowell Student Health Center and Long Marine Lab. Waste needs to be considered "Medical Waste", which is waste from research of or related to diagonsis or treatment of humans or animals. Biohazard waste (e.g. tissue cultures) are autoclaved and then can be tossed in dumpster. To dispose of medical waste, SOE needs to get a permit from SC County (UCSC already has 3), get added to the medical waste pickup and supply the red medical waste cans/bags. - talk with EH&S find out how to deal with waste, BME does not want to autoclave waste
      ---------------------------------------------
32 Labs Lab Safety Meeting EH&S holding lab safety meeting May 17th. Session 1 at 9:30am on Science Hill or Session 2 at 2:30 at Long Marine Lab. Each BME lab should designate a safety rep and send them. This is the first meeting in 2 yrs.
      ---------------------------------------------
33 288 BSL-2 Lab Certification EH&S says there is an institutional bio-safety committee. Bio-use authorization form?
      ---------------------------------------------
34 Rm 202 glass washer Siemens water purifier installed, Lancer next. Quote for power connection has been requested from Kenner.

35 Rm 288 incubators Duplex outlets on backup power needed for incubators at south wall. South wall will have 3 sets of stacked incubators for total of six. Back up power need will be assessed in context of back-up requirements more generally. Large incubator on West wall does not need CO2 or backup power.

36 RM 288 Cleaning Service Cleaning crew will be required to gown up.

37 288, 292 shelves Shelves over sink. To hold carboys?
