DESCRIPTION OF SHARED RESOURCE The Common Equipment Core resource provides support to Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center (SKCCC) investigators for the maintenance and operation of equipment that is shared among multiple groups or Programs with an emphasis to ensure young investigators have access to equipment necessary to their laboratories. The services provided by this resource are repair and/or preventative maintenance contracts for shared equipment, annual inspections of freezers, cryo units and balances, water filters for film processors and ice machines and maintenance and chemicals for the film processors. Shared equipment covered are four film processors, eight ice machines, four autoclaves, one Coulter counter, two real time PCR instruments, two liquid scintillation/luminescence counters, two stills, and AA/ equipment in five shared conference rooms. Equipment such as ultra centrifuges, mid-range centrifuges, scintillation counters, and imaging equipment are included to make sure young investigators have access to necessary equipment crucial in developing their laboratory Programs. In April of 2009, a newly installed centralized liquid nitrogen system went on-line to provide liquid nitrogen to multiple cryo units in the Bunting Blaustein freezer morgue (G06). Implementing this system has created additional space thus allowing an increased number of units to be housed in the morgue by eliminating the individual delivery tanks for each unit. This will be a cost savings for each investigator of approximately 50% of what they were spending on liquid nitrogen. Also, since the system is monitored, there is less likelihood of failure and offers consistent delivery of liquid nitrogen to each unit. There is a chargeback in place for this service. Service monitoring and oversight are provided by the Laboratory Facilities and Services Manager and the Laboratory Services Coordinator. User logs are required and kept for each piece of equipment where appropriate. Exceptions are film processors, ice machines and A/V equipment. There is no charge back system for these services. There is a chargeback for the use of the autoclaves, real time PCR units, the liquid scintillation/luminescence counters and cryo storage. Lay: The Common Equipment Core makes available technologies and equipment that is either too costly or impractical for individual research laboratories to invest in. The specific types of equipment range from providing basic needs such as ice machines, to the practical like a centralized liquid nitrogen delivery system for cryo storage all the way up to highly technological instrumentation such as real time PCR.

共享资源描述公共设备核心资源为西德尼·基梅尔综合癌症中心(SKCCC)的研究人员提供支持，以维护和操作在多个小组或项目之间共享的设备，重点是确保年轻研究人员能够获得其实验室所需的设备。这一资源提供的服务包括共用设备的维修和/或预防性维护合同、冷冻机、冷冻机和天平的年度检查、胶片冲洗机和制冰机的滤水器以及胶片冲洗机的维护和化学品。共用设备包括四台胶片冲洗机、八台制冰机、四台高压灭菌器、一台库尔特计数器、两台实时聚合酶链式反应仪器、两台液体闪烁/发光计数器、两台蒸馏器和五个共享会议室的AA/设备。包括超离心机、中程离心机、闪烁计数器和成像设备等设备，以确保年轻的研究人员能够获得对开发他们的实验室项目至关重要的必要设备。2009年4月，一个新安装的集中式液氮系统上线，为邦廷·布劳斯坦冷冻室(G06)的多个冷冻机提供液氮。实施这一系统创造了更多的空间，从而消除了每个单位的单独投递箱，从而使更多的单位得以存放在停尸房内。这将为每个研究人员节省大约50%的成本，这是他们在液态氮上的花费。此外，由于系统受到监控，故障的可能性较小，并为每个装置提供一致的液氮输送。这项服务有按存储容量使用计费的规定。服务监测和监督由实验室设施和服务经理和实验室服务协调员提供。在适当的情况下，需要并保存每台设备的用户日志。胶片冲洗机、制冰机和影音设备除外。这些服务没有退款系统。使用高压灭菌器、实时聚合酶链式反应装置、液体闪烁/发光计数器和低温存储需要按存储容量使用费用。Lay：公共设备核心提供了一些技术和设备，这些技术和设备要么过于昂贵，要么对单个研究实验室来说过于昂贵或不切实际。具体类型的设备从提供基本需求的设备，如制冰机，到实用的，如用于低温储存的集中式液氮输送系统，一直到高科技仪器，如实时聚合酶链式反应。
