How to Place Your Radioactive Materials Order  
 
Summary: If you order radioactive materials for your department, follow the steps on this page to place your order.

In the right place? You must have special authorization to purchase radioactive materials. Please see How to Become Authorized to Purchase Radioactive Materials for more information.
What to do How to do it
1 Gather information for your order.
  1. Get the RUA number that you are designated to use from your principal investigator (PI).
  2. Check supplier information:
    • Have the supplier's catalog number ready.
    • Have the supplier's commodity code available.
  3. If necessary, convert the unit of measure into millicurie (mCi).
2 If your order is for a one-time delivery, follow this step.
  1. Complete a Department Order through FinancialLink and note the PO number.
  2. Call the supplier to place your order.
Note: You must have a valid user ID and buyer code to complete a Department Order. If another person in your area is responsible for preparing Department Orders, please provide that individual with the ordering information.

3 If your order is for a blanket or standing order, follow this step.
  1. Complete a High Value Purchase Requisition through FinancialLink.
Note: You must have a valid user ID and be authorized to complete purchase requisitions. If another person in your area is responsible for preparing your requisition, please provide that individual with the information.

4 Arrange for receipt.
  1. If your lab is on the main campus:
    • EH&S calls the radiation safety lab contact when the order arrives.
    • The lab contact designates a person to pick up the order.
    • Follow procedures for picking up radioactive materials.
  2. If your lab is off campus:
    • Wait for delivery from the EH&S Services Lab.
