Instrument Scheduling

Users are required to be trained by one BAF mass spectrometry personnel prior to accessing the mass spectrometer instrument(s). In order to be added to the Outlook calendar corresponding to the mass spectrometer instrument(s) of their choice, the users will receive an invitation by email from the facility's lab manager. At this point, users will be able to login and schedule a time slot on a specific device. Key card access to the facility will be given once the user's training is completed.

For key card access, contact: Brier Lee-Renken (Brier.Lee@unt.edu)
