SCIF Cytometry in BSP 412 distributes liquid nitrogen for laboratory use in the BSP and SRE buildings. There is no self-filling. You must make a request in iLab and SCIF will fill either a 3L or 10L dewar (provided) for you to take to your lab. The dewar must be returned by the end of the day (5PM) to BSP412. This is currently a pilot service (free of charge), but will likely be on a recharge in the future. This is most suited for small quantities of LN2 or as a backup for larger quantities during emergency shortages. Those with large cell storage dewars or large regular consumption should continue to order their own LN2.
-Process to reserve nitrogen:
- Visit SCIF's iLab Services Tab: https://ucmercedcores.ilab.agilent.com/sc/5147/stem-cell-instrumentation...
- Under "unclassified" services, select either 3L or 10L nitrogen dewar by clicking "initiate request". Fill in the information and we will get an email request and let you know when it's filled.
