User Guidelines

1. Training

  • All users must undertake an initial mandatory training on any instrument they are planning to operate.
  • Users must contact facility personnel to request training, which is held during normal business hours (Mon-Fri 9-6 pm).
  • Following the initial or successive training sessions, it will be determined by facility personnel whether the user is capable of competently operating the instrument independently. A user’s first 5 hours of independent use of an instrument must be scheduled during normal business hours and facility personnel must be notified so that they may be accessible to the user.
  • During the first training session, users must bring a signed user agreement.
