Fingerprint access for the key safe(WMBB) and key/card safe(CCRB): 

 

If you haven't already had your fingerprint added to the key safe 
system you should plan on having that done on 
any Thursday at 2pm.  If you need to have that done make sure to stop 
by the main desk on first floor of WMBB(or call them at 6-5258) and 
sign up for this so that central security knows to come.   Once your 
training with me is complete I will submit the request for you to have 
access to both units for the keys to access the Xray.  The fingerprinting 
is for the unit in WMBB, it is entirely up to you to get access for that 
unit.  I do strongly encourage access to both units so if one goes down 
you still have access to the other.

RAR access:

 

           Since the Xray is housed in the CCRB RAR facility we need to get you        
           access if you don't already have it. Here are the different steps that  
           may need to be taken.  Let me know which one fits your needs and I  
           will send you the correct forms. 

1.

 

If you currently have a mouse protocol and have mice housed in 
CCRB you will not need to do anything further if you have CCRB RAR 
access.  Please contact me if your PI has a protocol and you are 

not

 

on it. 

2.

 

If your PI has a mouse protocol and your lab houses animals at a 

different

 location from CCRB you will need to request RAR access to 

CCRB. You will need to set up a tour with the CCRB area supervisor 
and attend a short training session with him.  The contact info is:
