Dry Ice Checkout

Labs can check out dry ice from the Gortner 140 main office. To check out dry ice, take the following steps:

  • Come to Gortner 140 during regular business hours (M-F, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM), and ask to check out the dry ice key. Department staff will request your name, lab affiliation, and chart string. Staff will then provide a key that unlocks the dry ice freezer in the basement of Gortner labs.

  • Once you have gotten dry ice, return the key to 140 Gortner. Tell cluster staff the amount of ice taken.

Note: there is no after-hours dry ice access.
