SIF Materials & Experiment Safety Assessment (MESA)

USER INFORMATION

U.S. Citizen*

*If associated with ISU, do not provide ISU University ID. Enter "ISU" instead.

Provide the 4 digit number on the back of your Ames Lab ID (bottom right).

If you do not have an Ames Lab ID, please provide the 6 digit number from the back of your ISU Card.

Once training is complete this allows for key access to be granted.




FUNDING

Funding Type*


INSTRUMENTS

Check all requested instruments

NOTE: Training is required prior to independent use of each instrument



Usage

Please note your experience, including dates and places, with any SEM/TEM instrumentation


Expected Frequency of Use*

for your chosen time frame



RESEARCH

Provide a detailed explanation of your research and sample preparation that you will conduct at the SIF



SAMPLES

All materials coming to the SIF must comply with DOT transportation regulations.

Report all quantities in grams; if liquid, report in milliliters. Please list g/ml in your answer. (eg, 5 ml or <1g)

*per sample = amount per vial/membrane box, ect

# of vials/membrane boxes to be transported for this request

Descriptor*

One descriptor per request. If you have multiple sample descriptors, please enter a new request for each descriptor.

Check all that apply

*If Nanomaterial, is your sample bound or unbound?*

Bound Nanoparticle: An engineered particle “dispersed and fixed within a polymer matrix, incapable as a practical matter of becoming airborne” is BOUND. Unbound Nanoscale Particle (UNP): Not contained within a matrix under normal temperature and pressure conditions that would reasonably be expected to prevent the particles from being separately mobile. Examples of UNP include intentionally produced fullerenes, nanotubes, nanowires, nanoropes, nanoribbons, quantum dots, nanoscale metal oxides, nanoplates, nanolayers, and other engineered nanoscale particles.

i.e. on a matrix/grid, in a solution, ect.

Is this material being transported in a solvent?*


SAFETY

Have any of your samples been irradiated with neutrons or ion beams?*
Will you be bringing human tissue, cell lines, or materials to the SIF?*
Will you be bringing regulated foreign or domestic soil to the SIF?*
Will you be performing any hydrofluoric acid or chemical etching at the SIF?*
