Laboratories
Principles for the usage of the MPE laboratories
- The laboratories belong to the department. The laboratories and their equipment do not belong to a particular section/researcher/ lecturer regardless of how the equipment is financed. However, it comes naturally that some sections and employees use some laboratories more than others do.
- The laboratories are dynamic, just like the responsibility for the management might be, and the laboratories' functions might develop with time as the sections' needs and possibilities develop.
Laboratories
If you or your students need access to a laboratory, you need to contact the laboratory manager and request access. You can find an overview of the laboratory manager below. When the laboratory manager approves, you have to send an e-mail to Helle (hea@mpe.au.dk) and Miriam (mirno@mpe.au.dk) in the secretariat with the laboratory manager CC and inform them of the information below:
- For individuals:
- Name of the person who needs access
- AU-ID or student number
- Name of laboratory
- Beginning and end date for the access
- For classes:
- UVA number
- Name of laboratory
- Start and end date for the access
Hereafter, Helle or Miriam will give access to the laboratory and send you an e-mail when access has been given.

The laboratory manager's tasks
The laboratory manager must:
- Have the entire department’s interests in mind when managing their responsibilities for the laboratory.
- Take care of the day-to-day running of the laboratories such as the purchase of materials and maintenance of equipment.
- Approve/reject requests for access to the lab.
- Ensure a healthy and safe working environment in the laboratories.
- Have knowledge of all the equipment in the laboratory and ensure that all equipment is registered.
- Hire student assistants for the laboratory in dialogue with the laboratory coordinator and hereafter approval from the deputy head of department for education.
- Have an overview of the student assistants' hours and approve their timesheets.
The laboratory coordinator’s tasks
- The laboratory ensures that the laboratories are used most efficiently and in the entire department’s interests.
- The laboratory coordinator acts as an intermediary between the laboratories/laboratory responsible and the department management team.
- The laboratory coordinator brings fundamental questions about the use of the laboratories to the department management team.
- The laboratory coordinator advises the laboratory responsible on issues related to the usage of the laboratories.
- The laboratory coordinator is a member of the department’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee (LAMU).
- Procurement of laboratory equipment has to be coordinated with the laboratory coordinator to ensure capability and that we do not construct redundant functions.
- Procurement of consumption materials for the laboratories have to be coordinated with the laboratory coordinator to ensure efficient procurement and usage of purchasing agreements
- All laboratory teaching has to be coordinated with the laboratory coordinator to ensure optimal usage of the laboratories.
- If the need for a new laboratory or new functions in an existing laboratory arises, you have to contact the laboratory coordinator to make a presentation in unison for the department management team.
