Hi everyone

 

We have recently started a small multiuser live cell imaging unit (ultimately 6 microscopes including TIRF, FRAP, confocal, widefield, multiphoton…). I need to come up with some sort of contract that users will sign after training before they are allowed on the machines. I have been scratching my head trying to find what to write in this contract since one cannot possibly write a long list of ‘don’t unplug this type of things and I cannot see how I could ask any user to be responsible and pay for damage if they break anything.

 

Could some of you send me offline an example of the contract you get people to sign for microscope usage?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Med vänlig hälsning / Best regards

 

Sylvie
