| DCM Barcode Census |
| DCM will create new barcoded perforated cage cards to be place on all cages in specified rooms: |
- The Barcoding Office will coordinate with Animal Purchasing to accurately determine the total number of cages in the room.
- A sign will be posted on the door to all PI's and investigative staff to inform of the impending change and not to remove any new cage cards.
- PI/Group, Facility Supervisor, or the Barcoding Office will be provided with barcoded perforated cage cards.
|
| Attention !! |
All labs in Harborview Research and Training Facility are required to take the Barcode Census Training.
If you are new to the lab or have not taken the training as of yet contact Jennifer Noell (auts@uw.edu) of Animal Use Training to register. Without prior training you or your coworker may be responsible for a mistake the lab will be charged for.

Starting June 1st , 2009 all activation and deactivation strips must be turned in the day cages are taken in and out of rooms. If any cages are deactivated, all strips have to be turned in to the drop box that day. If any cages are activated, all strips need to be turned in to the drop box that day. Do not take the barcoded strips out of the animal room if the cages are not returning. Instead, deactivate the cards before leaving the room and place them in the drop box.
Any strips turned in late will receive a Barcode Census Technician charge for a minimum of half an hour.
The Barcode Census can only be at its most accurate and efficient if strips are turned in on time. This will also prevent many billing issues that are tied to late activation or deactivation strips. |
