Policies & Training
General policies
- No food or beverages are permitted near the spectrometers or workstations.
- Do not prepare your samples at the EPR lab.
- Do not leave your EPR samples in the EPR lab.
- If a sample breaks in the magnet, contact the EPR lab staff immediately so that the resonator can be cleaned. This will minimize damage from corrosive solvents.
- All users must follow the scheduling restrictions of the EPR lab, and register in advance.
- Non-standard experiments/ resonator changes must be scheduled with the EPR lab staff in advance.
A guide for new EPR Users
Our EPR spectrometer is normally operated in two ways:
- By trained users - The instrument is accessible to anyone who has been trained in its use by the EPR lab staff, and work is performed for their own research groups.
- As a service - EPR service is provided to WIS staff (Internal EPR Services) as well as for external users (External EPR Services).
