Location
Our newest ChemCentral location is now open in Rock Hall located at the Mission Bay Campus. This location provides chemical receiving located in RH147. ChemCentral Receiving will also serve as the pick up location for any chemicals we receive through Logistics.
We only have Ethanol 200 Proof (Product #: TX89125-172SFU) available for purchase by pick up after placing a pick up order through our online system. Ethanol 190 Proof (Product #TX89125-164SFU) will be available for purchasing soon.
Access
Our program manager has granted access to RH147 to all Rock Hall researchers that are currently part of a chemical inventory. If you still do not have access, fill out our SmartSheet form and we will be able to grant access within 24 hours.
Chemical Receiving
All hazardous chemicals for the Rock Hall building will be centrally received and inventoried by our staff in Room RH147. We will reach out to whomever the package was addressed for after we inventory it. The receiver is responsible for physically moving the chemical from the pick up area to the proper storage location (i.e. flammable cabinet). From there, the researcher will have to accept the "Pending Transfer" in Chemicals. Down below is our guide with instructions on how to do so.
ChemCentral Accepting Transfers Guide
Chemicals bought through BearBuy with the commodity code 0025 - hazardous chemicals will have the ship-to address for that line automatically changed and rerouted to UCSF Logistics in Oyster Point during the checkout process. Once the chemical is delivered through Logistics, it will be unpackaged, tagged and inventoried and all excess shipping material will be tossed saving researchers time by taking care of these extra steps for them.
ChemCentral at Rock Hall – Receiving Workflow
We can also help remove chemicals from lab's inventories. RFID inventory tags from spent chemicals can be returned to the stockroom in our "Used Inventory Tags" container for ChemCentral Staff to remove from their inventory.
Purchasing
A ChemCentral account must be made prior so that we can process your orders and link the purchase with your lab's account and inventory information.
Purchases from the stockroom can be made through RSS Marketplace, a software suite that actively communicates with other UCSF software including Lab Hazard Assessment (LHAT) and UC Chemicals. This location only has ethanol available for purchase, and the only option for purchasing is to place a pick-up order. You will have to submit the order through RSS Marketplace.
ChemCentral orders are processed and fulfilled once a day. Place orders early for same-day delivery. We will send an email to the purchaser when the order is ready for pickup.
