We ask that users sign up for training on only one instrument at a time otherwise, it can become very unclear what the sequence of training sessions is going to be. If there isn't a training session already scheduled for the instrument you are interested in, the GLA should contact you to schedule one. You will also find a list of any currently scheduled training sessions there, and GLA contact information. To request new user training, sign up on the white board just inside the NMR lab main door. If your PTA number changes, inform Dave what the new number is. Return this completed form to the GLA or to Dave before using the instrument for the first time. The "PTA alias" which is a letter P followed by a 5-6 numbers is not valid. The PTA will normally begin with your advisor's initials.
As part of the training, you will receive and complete a form acknowledging your understanding of the lab safety rules, and entering the PTA (Caltech internal accounting number) to which your NMR bills will be charged. Instrument users should receive training from a GLA before running any of the instruments. Authorized users should not bring visitors with them inside any marked 5 gauss line. The high magnetic field areas should only be entered by authorized instrument users who have completed new user safety training (see below), and do not have cardiac pacemakers or other risk factors.
These areas are marked on the floor with red and white striped tape. Past that line, there are areas around each NMR magnet where the stray magnetic field exceeds 5 gauss. The lab is open for visits or tours from the main door up to the yellow line in the floor tile.
