Independent Use
Becoming an Independent User of the laboratory allows researchers to work more efficiently and gain deeper insight into their experiments. Independent users can prepare and analyse samples directly, adjust experimental parameters in real time, and quickly repeat or refine measurements or methods when needed.
Steps to become an independent user:
1. Register for a user account
- LIMS is our Laboratory Information Management System, where you will find information about tools as well as be able to apply for tool licences, book tools etc.
- Apply for your account here.
2. Understand the basic safety requirements
3. Attend a Hultgren Laboratory safety tour
- Shortly after you apply for your LIMS account, you'll be invited to attend the next avaiable laboratory safety tour.
- After attendence, you'll be granted access to the general areas in the Hultgren Laboratory.
4. Attend the CBH Laboratory safety course
- Users who will handle chemicals in the Hultgren Laboratory are required to attend KTH's laboratory safety course. Register here.
5. Tool training
- Apply for a tool license in LIMS. The tool responsible will then reach out to arrange a time for training.
- When you have demonstrated that you can use the tool proficiently, you'll be granted a licence.
7. Booking tools
- When you have a licence, use LIMS to book the tool for your independent use.
- Risk Assessments are needed if your samples your samples pose a risk to people or the instrument.
- When using tools and instruments, if you are unsure, ask for advice.
