Equipment
- Permanent equipment includes items that total over $2000 and have a life expectancy of two years and over. Remember these orders go to the purchasing department for approval IN ADDITION to the other approval process.
- "Equipment" as reflected by use of the 61xx subcode series carries no overhead charges. Please note that numerous items of lesser value (under $2000) may be "bundled" if you are fabricating a new piece of equipment. You will need to give the Purchasing Coordinator the name of your fabrication and should refer to the same name or all related orders.
- (Please note that some funders have matching dollar value restrictions relating to equipment; call the D.A. or check your Grant Proposal Guide or Contract Grant for more information.)
Gases
- The Laboratory Manager orders any specialty gases and all gases used in the cleanroom. He also installs the gases and makes sure that there are no leaks or other safety hazards.
- Give any specific instructions as to where the gas cylinder should be delivered.
- If gas is poisonous, please write that on the order form. These will not be kept in ISE's office!
- You must notify Dick Harniman once a dewar/cylinder is empty. Rental fees are charged on a monthly basis.
- If you frequently order gases from the same company, we can set up a contract PO for you which commits a dollar value to a Principal Investigator's account that allows the group to place orders (by phone referencing the KPO) thereafter without other intermediation.
