For those expecting infrequent instrument use or few samples, we recommend submitting a Materials Processing Request (MPR) and allowing our Sensitive Instrument Facility (SIF) staff to characterize your sample for you. The SIF offers a wide array of materials processing services, and we will work with you to fulfill your request.

Please allow 1-2 weeks for your request to be processed.

To request materials processing:

• Familiarize yourself with our capabilities and rates. *Note that both the labor and instrument rates apply on an hourly basis.
• Complete the Materials Processing Request form (located on the sidebar to the right)
• You will be notified by e-mail when your request has been approved (or rejected)
