"Problem-Container Form" for New Materials
Don’t stress if you’re having trouble matching a container to a chemical or product record in the system. Simply submit a “Problem-Container Form” and we will create the chemical record for you. We'll email you to let you know when the record has been created and provide instruction for adding this material to your inventory in the future.
Request More Chemical Inventory Barcode Labels
Barcode stickers for your chemical containers are provided by EHRS in rolls of 250 labels. Request more barcode labels using the Warning Sign and Label Request Form. The barcode request section is towards the bottom of the form (see image below). A member of the EHRS Chemical Inventory Team will deliver the labels to your lab.
Searching for Chemicals Outside of Your Lab
The EHRS Chemical Inventory Team can help you locate chemicals in our EHRS Surplus Inventory or in other labs across campus.
Use the webform to submit your search request. Remember that all chemical sharing is voluntary and requires the permission of the lab that owns the chemical as well as the approval of the PI for the lab that wishes to borrow or adopt the chemical.
