Particular attention should be given to the safety aspects.
The name and characteristics of the substance(s) to be used, have to be completed carefully.
Experimental conditions requiring special safety precautions such as the use of lasers, high pressure cells, samples presenting biological dangers (for example tissue samples, bacteria, viruses), dangerous substances, toxic substances and radioactive materials, must be clearly stated in the proposal at step 4 (sample, substances and ancillary equipment declaration).
You have to declare in step 4 each sample or sample family (one ‘form’ per sample).
According to the type of sample or object you will have to fill in the following information using an appropriate template:
- Cellular biology sample
- Biochemistry sample
- Chemistry sample (gas, liquid, solids, ...)
- Radioactive sample , with sample hoder description if appropriate
- Valuable object
In the particular case of biological origin samples, we require you to give the name of the biological sample, the living organism from which it is derived and the way in which it was produced and purified.
Moreover, any ancillary equipment supplied by the user must conform to the appropriate French regulations (mechanical, electrical, high pressure, …) and eventually to SOLEIL specifications.
This information will be forwarded to the beamline manager, to the safety group, and to the requested SOLEIL laboratories.
Failure in providing this information will mean that the application will NOT be accepted.
