COMMON EQUIPMENT

共享资源的描述通用设备核心资源为Sidney Kimmel综合癌症中心（SKCCC）的研究人员提供支持，以维护和操作多个小组或项目之间共享的设备，重点是确保年轻的研究人员能够使用他们实验室所需的设备。该资源提供的服务是共用设备的维修和/或预防性维护合同，冷冻机、低温装置和天平的年度检查，胶片冲洗机和制冰机的水过滤器，以及胶片冲洗机的维护和化学品。所涉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、两台真实的聚合酶链反应仪、两台液体闪烁/发光计数器、两台蒸馏器和五个共用会议室的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在开发实验室项目中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Bunting Blaustein冷冻停尸房（G 06）的多个冷冻装置提供液氮。实施这一系统创造了额外的空间，从而通过消除每个单元的单独输送罐，允许在停尸房中容纳更多的单元。这将为每位研究人员节省大约50%的液氮费用。此外，由于系统受到监控，故障的可能性较小，并向每个单元提供液氮的一致输送。此服务存在按存储容量使用计费。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，需要保存每件设备的用户日志。包括胶片冲洗机、制冰机和A/V设备。这些服务没有收费制度。高压灭菌器、真实的时间PCR装置、液体闪烁/发光计数器和冷冻储存的使用需要收费。铺设：通用设备核心提供了对于单个研究实验室来说过于昂贵或不切实际的技术和设备。具体类型的设备范围从提供基本需求（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（如真实的时间PCR）。

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.
