We now have a confirmed date for the install of the gas detection in the lab which will happen on the week commencing 18th September. 

Once this is completed Lizan is going to organise the deep clean of the lab. She will communicate a date and time for this once the work has been completed. Please make every effort to come to the cleaning. If people don’t turn up then the lab will not reopen promptly. 

We anticipate a full reopening of the clean labs on the 2nd October. Lindsey will confirm this at the time. Once the clean labs are back open then chemistry can resume. Note that only people that have been reinducted will be allowed access. Those that missed the reinduction session will need to find me and I will go through it with them. 

Please note that I am on leave from this afternoon and won’t return until the 3rd October. In the interim Lindsey remains as the primary point of contact for CELTIC and is assisted by Lizan. 

There is currently an electrical shutdown of the -1.34 side of the lab which will run until Monday morning. Ana and Sophie are managing the instruments on that side of the lab while this is ongoing. 

Cheers,

Edward
