Why it is Important REM Approve Radioactive Materials For obvious reasons, radioactive material is a restricted commodity. Users must go through radiation safety training and the project approval process before they can begin ordering and using radioactivity. REM must approve all orders. The approval process enables us to maintain an inventory of all radioisotopes on campus as is required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The process also helps us ensure an order does not exceed limits set on individual projects. To comply with Purchasing Services requirements we must use OnePurdue to order almost everything. This includes radioactive materials. In addition, to maintain compliance with Department of Transportation (DOT) and NRC regulations, all packages containing radioactive material must go through a required check-in process. Therefore, they must be shipped to:
REM can be added anywhere along the approval path, but whenever you order isotopes, you must add Sharon Rudolph as an approver. In addition, please use the Product Category code "12112114" for "Radioimmunoassay Isotopes". When ordering, use the Radioactive Material Requisition (Form R-1) which can be saved to your computer, filled out, and emailed to the person in charge of placing orders in your area. This will ensure the person actually entering the order into OnePurdue knows it is a radioisotope order. That Form R-1 should then be attached to the OnePurdue order so REM can print it when approving the order. We will then be able to provide you with a copy of the Form R-1 for your records that includes the assay information pertinent to your order. Use the imbedded links on this page for the Form R-1 or it can be found by scrolling down to the "Radiation Safety" section of the REM Forms page. OnePurdue orders will be checked by REM each day by noon, so please get your radioisotope orders in before noon for approval that day. Please be aware, however, that once an order is approved by REM, it may still need approval from your department's Fiscal Approver and from Purchasing before it will be faxed to the vendor. Since each vendor has their own cut-off time for shipping, there is no guarantee an order placed today will arrive at Purdue the next day. Vendors also celebrate most of the same holidays as Purdue and do not ship over long holiday weekends. Please plan accordingly and, if possible, place your order at least 3 business days before you need it. If you have any questions about whether or not an order is considered radioactive, or if you are not sure how to include some of the required information, please call Sharon at 47969. We will be happy to help in any way we can to get your order placed promptly. Form R-1: Radioactive Material Requisition We have price quotes for several of our most common isotopes that are significantly lower than the list price. If you have a special order or will be ordering a new product more frequently, please call Sharon to get a new price quote. Vendor Information & Links |
