The sector 12 chemistry lab is located in 433 E030. If your experiment requires use of the bench space, fume hood, or access to lab equipment, indicate 'LAB USE' on your ESAF and describe any sample preparation, handling, mounting, cleaning, or storage requirements in detail. Remember, lab-only NO X-RAY EXPERIMENTS still require an ESAF.
