Lab orientation/Introduction
- Provide training to all Chemistry scientists on instrument operation, sample preparation and data upload/download procedures.Provide safety tour to all scientists working in the Chemistry/MBIO area. Ensure scientists understand all safety concerns and that they sign the required documents.Give an orientation/safety procedures tour of the lab to the Chemists
- Provide training to all chemistry scientists on instrument operation, sample preparation and data upload/download procedures.
- Meet with Chemists chemistry scientists and find out their general goals and specific requests. If there are Microbiologists microbiologists sailing, make sure that these same protocols are done with them.
- Divide up responsibilities among the Chemists for all shipboard analyses. Follow up during coring operation operations to make sure all analyses are done and done correctly
- Have a meeting with the Chemists/Curator/SAC (Sample Allocation Committee) to go through sample plans.
- Prepare sampling equipment and sample storage containers. Wash any necessary containers and prepare spikes if needed.
- Prepare SampleMaster split template (water and squeeze cake splits).
- Show how to print sample labels.
- Go over all SDS sheets before working with any chemicals. Understand the risks of handling chemicals, especially if any hazardous chemicals will be used.
- Print out the most recent copy of each instrument's User Guide so the Scientists scientists can become familiar with each instrument's operation.
