Emergency Freezer

  • The Molecular Bioscience Department maintains a -80 freezer for backup and emergency use. It is available to members of the department for very short term use (i.e. for one day of inventory or moving supplies) or for emergency use if another freezer is broken.
  • We will be transitioning to a new reservation system and location shortly. Currently, the freezers are in the Pancoe 3 south location.
  • To reserve the freezer: email molbiosci@northwestern.edu with subject line "Department -80 Freezer" and include the following information:
    • Contact name and email address
    • Phone number (a cellphone number is preferred, or both a daytime and evening number)
    • If relocated, location where freezer will be temporarily kept (i.e. Pancoe 4th Floor Equipment Corridor)
  • If this is an emergency after hours/weekends and the freezer is available, you can take the freezer and then update us with the information.
  • Please direct any questions to Molecular Biosciences.
