Free chemicals from Chemistry department

Hi everyone, Our Chemistry department is cleaning out a research lab and offering a list of free chemicals <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FMFcLXYbBwx0tV3i1a1ND6ZxYMqc8DX-yq3…> to us. Any chemicals that are not claimed (blank under the "Claim?" column) are available. [image: image.png] If you take a chemical, please put your name in the "Claim?" column. The chemicals are in ST461. Take care, Angela ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Jade Huynh <ngochuynh(a)sandiego.edu> Date: Mon, Jan 12, 2026 at 5:10 PM Subject: Chemicals up for grabs To: Shem Brudzinski <shemb(a)sandiego.edu>, Tin Ki “Angela” Tsang < ttsang(a)sandiego.edu>, Sharon Ferguson <sferguson(a)sandiego.edu>, Matthew Searle <msearle(a)sandiego.edu>, Anthony Basilio <anthonybasilio(a)sandiego.edu>, Russell Harrel <rharrel(a)sandiego.edu>, John Vincent Aquino < jaquino(a)sandiego.edu> Hello everyone, I'm extending this invitation to other departments because your researchers might have an interest in taking these chemicals. Please send the email to your faculty, por favor. Thank you very much Best regards, Jade *ST492 Lab Clean-up*: ST492 Chemicals Up For Grabs <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FMFcLXYbBwx0tV3i1a1ND6ZxYMqc8DX-yq3…> In preparation for the new faculty joining our department, we will resume cleaning ST492 during late Spring/early Summer. To minimize chemical waste, we made a list matching chemicals from this room with labs who also own containers of the same chemical <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FMFcLXYbBwx0tV3i1a1ND6ZxYMqc8DX-yq3…> -- please check this list and claim as many items as you can! (If you remove a chemical from 461, please update the location in ChemInventory.) [image: IMG_4710.jpeg]. [image: IMG_4712.jpeg] All of the chemicals are currently in ST461; feel free to take anything you claim, or let us know and we can drop a chemical off in your lab. Room temperature chemicals have been sorted in bins alphabetically, and those marked with a green circle sticker are chemicals that appear with the green rows in the spreadsheet; hopefully this makes chemicals easier to find (For example, if you are looking for N,N,N'-TETRAMETHYLETHYLENEDIAMINE because you use this in your lab, look for it in the T bin with a green sticker). Some chemicals are in the fridge in 461: most of these are in the lower left drawer, with the larger bottles marked on the middle shelf. -- *Jade Huynh* Laboratory Technician – Chemistry Laboratory Associate Chemistry and Biochemistry University of San Diego 5998 Alcalá Park San Diego, CA 92110 (619)-202-3748 -- Tin Ki "Angela" Tsang, Ph.D.*| *曾天琪 (she/her) Laboratory Technician, Biology University of San Diego 5998 Alcalá Park, SCST-368 San Diego, CA 92110 619-260-4843
