In addition, ALL chemical shipments to the U.S. must also have a TOXIC SUBSTANCE CONTROL ACT PART 707 (TSCA) CERTIFICATION (TSCA) form included.
Goods Being Shipped on Dry Ice

Laundry Service for Lab Coats
Soiled lab coats can be dropped off in the bin at Chemistry Stores to be laundered. Customers must have a standing account with Chemistry Stores to have coats cleaned. JV customers must email biosupply@chem.ubc.ca with the following information when dropping off lab coats (one email per speedchart/group of lab coats:
Group Name (that will be on the lab coats)
Your Name
Speedchart
Number of coats dropped off to be laundered.
If you work with biological materials, coats must be autoclaved before dropping off for laundering.
Please note: Each lab coat must be marked (use permanent marker) with
PI/Group name
Your name
Make sure we can identify the owner of the lab coat easily – if there is no identifiable name then they cannot be returned.
Coats are picked up once per week. The cleaned coats are returned about two weeks later. Once ready for pickup from Stores, the group will be notified by email and coats will be placed in the package pickup area in the chemical room.
Chemistry Stores will not be responsible for lost or misplaced lab coats.
