Make sure you anticipate usage over the time you will be out of the lab and that there will be enough stocks, etc to last the lab before you return. If you are concerned about lab usage while you are gone, it is your responsibility to ask someone in the lab to monitor it for you and cover while you are away. General lab courtesy - if you use a whole sleeve of plates, make another. If you use a lot of a stock or finish it, make some more. Everyone should help aliquot electrocomp cells. Solution I and Solution II are now the responsibility of those who use them regularly. TBE is also the responsibility of those who are using it regularly. How It Works Each person is assigned a laboratory job (or set of jobs based on intensity of the assigned job) and an administrative role (indicated in italics). Please keep up with your assigned jobs. Note, that it is everyone's responsibility to load tips, load the dishwasher, and rinse out your glassware. Also, while general DO plates are made (-U, -T, and -UT) as common stocks, all other DO plates are made by the individual using them.
