Freezers

For material that needs to be temporarily stored in a frozen state (~-19oC) until required. They are not for long-term storage.

This is for the overnight storage of material that needs to be kept at low temperatures when that material is brought onto the premises after lab hours. Items must only be stored in here until the following working day.

  • Name of worker (and supervisor if it is a student project)
  • Research project
