How to get access to the facility
To get access to Comparative Medicine Core Facility, you need to:
- Send documentation on your education in lab animal science to the head of facility. If you have no such education, read the information under "Mandator education in lab animal science".
- Read and understand all the information at this website
- Visit the Health, Environment and Safety Division for a health check and vaccination (if necessary):
Health declaration - more information
- Participate at a guided tour and practical training sessions at CoMed. For more information, read the information under "Mandatory education in lab animal science" in the left side menu. If you have previous experience from working with laboratory animals, a guided tour and demonstration of skills might be sufficient. Contact head of facility to discuss it before you sign up for the tour. If you plan on working with other species than mice, contact head of facility to make special arrangements.
- Fill out the form for new users and send it to the head of facility after completing the practical training and local tour. You will need a mentor to sign the form. Your mentor is responsible for you and your work until you are familiar with all relevant procedures used in your research project.
- You will not get personal access on your key card until you have received more training in your research group and are found ready to work independently in our facility. When this is in place, send an email with your name and key card number to the daily manager or head of facility. If you are employed outside the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, please contact the daily manager for more information.
- For access to MLIMS, Bookitlab and FOTS, send an email to the head of facility.
Without an approved education in laboratory animal science, you are not allowed to handle the animals. You might be allowed to accompany an approved researcher, which will be responsible for you at all times, to assist during the experiment (preparing samples, managing technical equipment etc), after agreement with the head of facility.
