Bldg. 21 Special Procedures Lab (Hot Lab)

The Special Procedures Lab is available for any NIH researcher who is performing an iodination, a tritiation, or any procedure involving volatile materials, or who needs to perform any other procedure, such as splitting a shipment that is too large for delivery to your lab. The Special Procedures Lab is located in Building 21 and is currently open, every week, Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.

Special Procedures Lab users must be:

• Trained and registered with DRS
• Have a baseline bioassay
• Have a set of typed or hand-written procedures
• First time users must be accompanied by an experienced Special Procedures Lab user
• Must have an appointment (no walk-ins)
• Appointments will be cancelled for any researcher who is more than 30 minutes late and who has not notified the Special Procedures Lab personnel.

To schedule an appointment, researchers can call 301-496-4803, Monday through Friday 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

We would like to encourage researchers to set up a facility in their own labs to do work which doesn't absolutely require the use of the DRS Special Procedures Lab. For more information about setting up a Protocol Lab contact your Area HP.
