Lab Calendar

This calendar is for the instruments at CAES. Once your service request is approved you can schedule pending dates. All dates must be approved by the instrument lead, unless you have been signed off on the instrument. All reservations involving radiological samples are pending until they are approved by the lab lead, who will ensure radiation safety support is available for the requested time.

Normal operating hours are Monday — Friday 8am — 5pm.

To perform work outside of normal operating hours requires:

1) Prior approval of the MaCS Lab Lead and Instrument Lead

2) Availability of necessary support safety personnel

If scheduled use is not canceled at least 24 hours in advance, the customer will be billed for the time at the requested level of service.
