Accessing or Joining the MPL
The MPL is a restricted post-graduate research facility which supports funded research from vast array of scientific disciplines. We welcome any University of California researcher whose requirements will not negatively impact our own research or instruments. Requests for external support (beyond the UC system) may be accommodated as time allows at the discretion of the facility director and staff.
There are two approaches to utilizing the facilities:
• schedule the services of an instrument (with the assistance of technical staff or approved senior lab member)
• become a lab member
Initially, many researchers tend to schedule service, so that a process may be validated, or for infrequent demand (e.g. a process done a few times a year). Please note As joining the laboratories entails additional time, effort and expense, this approach is recommended only for recurrent users.
To discuss your research requirements, or initiate the lab member process, please consult the Development Engineer.
