In order to keep SNF a safe and productive place to work as well as to protect the environment, all chemicals and materials used at this facility are controlled. Not only are the identities of all chemicals and materials controlled, but also their compositions (for mixtures), purities, where and how they are used, and their proper storage and disposal of their byproducts. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all chemical compounds used at SNF are indexed and stored in binders located next to the Stockroom. Any new chemicals and materials need to undergo SpecMat Committee approval before being allowed into the Facility. All personal-use chemicals and non-standard chemical containers must be appropriately labeled (with identification of owner, contents, and other safety info). As this is an ever-changing research environment, there is a vast number of chemicals and materials -- we need your help to keep track of them all. SNF is also a community of researchers -- as such, we all need to be extremely considerate of potential problems of cross-contamination, as it will affect the research of others and, thus, the value of the lab as a research resource. This website should answer most questions and concerns about which chemicals and materials and where their use are acceptable in the lab. Please take time to carefully consider the process flow of your experiment and how it might affect other labmembers and other downstream processes. If you have any concerns, contact one of the members of the SpecMat Committee, who will help with your questions. Other links regarding chemicals and materials at SNF:
