Hello Shannon,
The University of Nevada Reno is a mid-sized state university, around 20,000 students on average. We do chemical inventory every business day at a central receiving location. The chemicals get barcoded with an radio frequency ID barcode
tag (RFID) and delivered direct to the purchase. The exceptions are compressed gases and cryogens, we don’t do those.
We also do an in-lab survey of all lab spaces to check/reconcile inventory in place every day, making our way through most buildings annually, a once per year spot check.
We have been doing inventory since 2004 (annual spot check only) and chemical delivery since 2009. We started to use RFID tags in 2018.
Best Regards

[EXTERNAL EMAIL]
Good morning,
I'm trying to gather data to see how often universities are doing chemical inventory.
If you could please reply and state if you are a small, medium or large university and if/when you do chemical inventory and the frequency.
This information is greatly appreciated.
Best,
Shannon
