BioRaft/Chem Tracker

All chemical purchases enter the inventory upon receipt and must be “tracked” until disposal via a bar coding system. Adherence to the system is mandatory for the entire campus community. Chem Tracker will allow immediate online chemical information on chemical demographics, location, regulatory information, as well as up to date safety information (MSDS). 

ALL CHEMICALS MUST BE SHIPPED TO THE FISHER STOREROOM (100 CHARLES LANE DRIVE) SO THEY CAN BE ENTERED INTO CHEM TRACKER DATABASE.
