Accessing ONLY Second Floor Tools

How do I decide whether I need access to ONLY second floor labs or the entire CNF facility (cleanroom and second floor labs)?

What tools do you need?

If you plan to use tools ONLY from this list, then you only need access to the 2nd floor labs. If plans change and you need to use tools in the cleanroom, you will be required to complete the main CNF orientation and safety training (full New User orientation fee will be charged).

Steps to Getting Started for 2nd Floor Lab Access

Existing or Active CNF User

1. No additional orientation is needed.
2. Contact tool managers for training on individual tools.

Not an active CNF User

1. Email userprogram@cnf.cornell.edu at CNF to request 2nd floor lab access.
    
2. Submit a Project Proposal to start a project
    
3. Submit a New User Application to be added to the current active CNF project.
    
4. Take second floor orientation (second floor new user orientation fee charged to your CNF project). Prior to orientation, complete the following CU learn online courses:
   • EH&S lab safety (EHS 2555)
   • CNF Safety Video (RSRCH - CNF - SAFETY101)
   • CNF General Chemistry Area Training (RSRCH - CNF - CHEM101)

   2nd floor lab orientation will be scheduled typically on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Orientation will consist of a short presentation followed by lab space walk through – roughly 1-1.5 hrs total time.

5. Once all orientation is complete, contact tool owners for individual tool trainings.
