IAMS Biophysics Core Facility User’s Regulations
2023/7/03
The Biophysics Core Laboratory currently consists of two rooms. Room 328 has a confocal microscope and related computer equipment, while Room 326 contains a cell culture facility and various other instruments. The laboratory is currently only open to IAMS and its collaborating laboratories. Users of the core laboratory are charged fees to maintain the proper functioning of the instruments. These fees are collected from the affiliated laboratories every three months, specifically in January, April, July, and October each year, covering the preceding three months' total instrument usage fees.
Room 326 of the Biophysics Core Laboratory is applying for BSL-2 (Biosafety Level 2) certification. Access to this room will require all personnel to wear regularly cleaning lab coats and undergo 4 hours of annual biosafety related training courses before being granted entry.
Entry to both laboratories will require an access card. Those wishing to enter the Biophysics Core Laboratory must undergo evaluation and approval by the Biophysics core manager before access privileges are granted.
All research personnel are required to undergo formal training and pass the qualification exam before they can gain access to the Biophysics Core Laboratory and use any of its equipment. Those who have yet to pass the qualification exam are not permitted to operate the instruments unsupervised.
Qualified users can reserve the instruments online up to three weeks in advance. Reservation is based on first come first serve. The Biophysics core manager reserves the right to cancel the user's reservation if maintenance is required.
Damage resulting from carelessness or improper use is considered a violation. The user and his/her PI will be held accountable for the cost of the repair.
Reservations are required for the use of the instruments. Please note that reservations may only be made under your own name. It is not allowed to make reservations or fill out the records under someone else's name. Please fill in the logbook after you’re finished with the instrument.
Food and beverages are not allowed inside the Biophysics Core Laboratory. Be sure to take all your personal belongings and waste with you when you leave the laboratory.
Only use the storage space that is assigned to you in the refrigerator, freezer and space with Biophysics Core Laboratory.
Data backup is the responsibility of the user and may only be done through cloud storage. The use of thumb drives in L328 is strictly prohibited to prevent computer viruses.
Reservations are required to use the instruments. Cancellations must be informing Biophysics core manager in advance. Failure to inform the Biophysics core manager of a canceled reservation will result in normal usage fees being charged.
Only one certificate user from each laboratory is allowed to operate the autoclave, oven and dishwasher. The designated usage time for these instruments is 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily.
Any violation of the rules will result in the suspension of access to the Biophysics Core Facility. The first violation will be depending on the seriousness of the circumstances, and result in a one-week suspension at the most. The second violation will result in a two-week suspension. Repeat violators will be suspended indefinitely and be reported to the Biophysics Committee.
Please inform the Biophysics core manager in advance if you plan to use organic solvents or other chemical-related substances, especially toxic, concerned or volatile chemical substances. There is No chemical hood in the Biophysics Core Laboratory, users are required to prepare samples in their own laboratories and bring them to Biophysics Core Laboratory for measurement. If any liquid is accidentally spilled, immediately notify the Biophysics core manager for prompt handling in accordance with emergency response regulations.
If there are any disputes, you can submit an appeal to the Biophysics Core Committee. The Biophysics Core Committee has the right to change the IAMS Biophysics Core Facility User’s Regulations at any time; however, users will be notified of the changes.

生物物理核心實驗室設施使用規則
2023/07/03
生物物理核心實驗室現包含兩間，328實驗室內放置共軛焦顯微鏡及其相關電腦儀器，326實驗室內含細胞培養室及其他各式儀器。本核心實驗室現僅開放原分所內實驗室及與所內老師有合作的實驗室使用，本核心實驗室將向使用者收費以用來維持儀器正常運作，其費用統一於每年一、四、七、十月對所屬實驗室，收取前三個月之總儀器使用費用。
生物物理核心實驗之326室將申請為BSL-2實驗室，其進出所有人員服裝皆符合生物安全規定，並須穿著定期清洗之實驗衣，並通過每年4小時生安生保教育時數訓練，才能准予進入。
生物物理核心實驗室皆需使用原分所門禁卡才可進入，欲進入本核心實驗室的需經過管理者考核並確認後，才可開放權限入內。
初次使用儀器需先經過管理者的訓練及考核，確認使用者能單獨操作儀器無誤後，才可開放預約儀器使用權限，未通過考核者，不可單獨操作儀器。
使用者通過管理者考核後，管理者可開放使用者於網路上直接預約儀器，儀器開放日期為前三個星期，採先到先預約制。但若儀器需維修或有突發狀況，管理者有權可刪除使用者預約時段。
若儀器因使用者個人疏忽而操作不當損壞，也屬違規事項，維修若需更換零件及維修，則使用者及所屬實驗室之負責人須負責賠償修繕。
使用者使用前須先預約儀器，使用後確實填寫使用紀錄本，不可冒名預約填寫。
生物物理核心實驗室內禁止飲食，使用儀器完畢需自行帶走垃圾，並維持實驗室內整潔，切勿把私人的物品留置公用儀器實驗桌上。
326內冰箱及326實驗室皆有各實驗室分配的空間，切勿佔據其他實驗室空間。
請自行備份實驗檔案，328實驗室只可使用雲端分享方式進行檔案傳送，嚴禁使用USB隨身碟，以免電腦中毒。
儀器使用順序以預約使用者優先，預約儀器與實際使用時間請盡量詳實。預約登記後如因故無法使用，請先告知管理員或於預約前一日取消。若預約儀器，卻未告知管理員取消，將以正常使用費率收費。
高溫高壓滅菌釜、烘箱及洗瓶機等，各實驗室只能有一位代表操作該實驗，且使用前務必要讓管理員確認操作無誤，使用時間規定為每日9:00am -3:00pm。
若使用者違反上述使用規則，將告知所屬實驗室負責人，初次違反者，可視情節嚴重之程度，最重將停權一周，再次違反則停權二周，三次以上違反者，則停權並提報給由所上老師組成之生物物理核心實驗室委員會處理，停權者不可進入及使用生物物理核心實驗室室內任何設施。
若有使用者使用有機溶劑或其他化學相關溶劑，若使用的化學藥品是否是毒性及關注化學物質或揮發性溶劑，請事先告知管理員，因本生物物理核心實驗室內無化學排氣櫃，故須請使用者在各自實驗室配置好樣品後才可能拿到生物物理核心實驗室內測量，一旦液體有噴灑出，需第一時間通知管理員，並依照緊急應變規範處理。
本規則若有未盡事宜或使用者不服裁決時，也可於生物物理核心實驗室委員會申訴，由生物物理核心實驗室委員會得視情況更改修訂本使用規則，並再另行公告。
