F. Liquid Nitrogen

F.1 A Minimum of 7-days notification is required for cryo-preservation. Ultra-rapid cryo-preservation utilize large quantities of LN₂. In order to ensure enough LN₂ is on hand for your needs as well as other users in the EMF we need advance 7-day notification for transport and filling extra LN₂ pressure dewars.

F.2 The EMF LN₂ dewars are for EM Facility use only. If you need LN₂ for work outside of the EMF you must use the Pearson Hall dewar located in the loading dock area in the basement level, or the LN₂ facilities in the basement of Hughes Hall.

F.3 EMF & Pearson Hall LN₂ pressure dewars. As a courtesy, the EMF oversees the transport and refilling of the Botany/Zoology LN₂ pressure dewars along with the EMF's own dewars. When the Botany/Zoology dewars are empty, the EMF Specialist (Mr. Duley) will contact trucking to transport the tank to Hughes Hall and have the tank re-filled and returned to Pearson Hall. This process will take up to 7-10 days or longer (especially at the end and beginning of a semester as trucking is otherwise engaged). Notification of an empty tank will facilitate this process.
