Maintaining service contracts for an EMP lab is an expensive proposition! Your user fees are directly support the operation of the lab and help keep the instrument an open resource to CU researchers and greater Front Range scientific community. We strive to keep the user access fees for the instrument reasonable and competitive with the fees for similar laboratories at other institutions.
Scheduling Time on the Instrument
Please contact the laboratory manager Dr. Aaron S. Bell (aaron.bell@colorado.edu) to discuss your data needs and to schedule an appropriate block of instrument time.
