Equipment Usage Guidelines

Standard Operating Procedure

Purpose

To ensure systematic, fair, and efficient use of research equipment procured under the CURAJ EBS project, this SOP provides a structured process for booking, usage, and maintenance, specifically for research scholars.

Scope

This SOP applies to all research scholars, faculty, and technical staff utilizing equipment funded by the CURAJ EBS project in the School of Life Sciences, Central University of Rajasthan.

Important Note

In alignment with the project objectives, 40% of the facility's functional hours will be reserved for the Principal Investigator (PI) to conduct the experiments specified in the project proposal. As a result, the facility will be accessible to users other than the CURAJ-EBS PI and project staff only three days per week.
