For Instrument Users

For individuals wishing to expand their practical and analytical knowledge, PCAF offers a hands-on instrument training program which provides a highly cost-effective option for sample analysis. You or a member of your team will learn how to operate instrumentation under the guidance of PCAF staff. After completion of the program, you or a member of your team will be permitted to reserve and operate the instruments independently.

We have standard methods that are regularly used and are happy to work with you in developing new methods.

New users require laboratory orientation and instrument training. Please contact us (sea@laurentian.ca) to initiate this process.

Trained and approved users, please follow the directions below to reserve an instrument.
