Science Center Stockroom

Chemical deliveries for the Science Departments, including those located in Clapp, Reese and Shattuck are received by the Carr Lab Science Center Stockroom. Chemicals are entered into the inventory management system prior to being available for pickup by the faculty/staff that ordered them. Science Faculty/Staff can request OneCard access to Carr G27-North for their students that are authorized to pick up packages on their behalf by completing the OneCard Access Request Form.

Please be sure to include your name and department on all chemical orders.

You must notify the Science Center Stockroom in advance of all live animal deliveries and/ or motor freight deliveries (i.e. items on pallets or skids can require special handling). You must be available to receive your animals immediately upon delivery or make arrangements with a colleague to do so.

Ivey Industries is our preferred supplier of compressed gasses and cryogenic liquids. Faculty/Staff should order directly from Ivey and coordinate with them to have the Driver deliver/ pick up from the location where the product is used/stored  If you will be unavailable to meet the Driver, or if you are having your cylinders delivered to/ picked up from the Carr Lab Science Center Stockroom, you must coordinate with us in advance.

Dry ice: generated on-site, is available as-needed

The Science Center Stockroom’s dry ice machine makes 1-pound bricks of dry ice. Faculty/Staff are responsible for training their own students in proper use of the machine and how to safely handle dry ice.

Science Faculty/ Staff can request OneCard access to Carr G27-Center for their students that are authorized to make dry ice by completing the OneCard Access Request Form.

Chemical Management System

The Chemical Management System, maintained by the Stockroom, provides a searchable database for all inventoried chemicals in the science center. Please visit the Chemical Environmental Management System (CEMS) to set up your account and view your inventory.

Contact the stockroom with any questions you may have.

If you find that you received a chemical directly, please contact the stockroom to make arrangements for it to be entered into the inventory.

Faculty/ Staff must help ensure that our chemical inventory is accurate. When a chemical container is empty, please remove the “Mount Holyoke Chemical Inventory Barcode” and place it on the Barcode Return Sheet. You can keep this sheet posted near a hazardous waste satellite collection area if your lab has one or turn it to the Science Center Stockroom.
