Access

The lab services are available to UiO students and staff, and to external users from national and foreign universities, research institutes, industrial partners, and, under specific circumstances, amateur mineralogists and paleontologists.

Operation of the instruments is restricted to trained personnel familiar with the analysis system, product documentation, general safety precautions and laboratory rules. New users need to undergo a training period before they are allowed to work with the instruments independently.
