Non University of Tulsa Users
The University of Tulsa welcomes use of the nanocharacterization and fabrication facilities by external researchers, both academic and commercial.
Collaborative programs with faculty and staff are encouraged where such arrangements would enhance the research capability of both parties.
An Academic User is someone who is not a faculty/staff/student member of the University of Tulsa but who is conducting work on behalf of another University or other academic establishment (including hospital-based research).
A Commercial User is someone who is not affiliated with an academic institution or hospital, or a TU faculty or staff member who is using the facility on behalf of a commercial entity.
External users who are trained microscopists may operate the instrumentation independently, at the sole discretion of the laboratory manager. The same hourly fee applies.
External users should note that though the NanoLab will offer assistance in interpretation of data, the external user ultimately bears sole responsibility for the application of the results to their project.
If you are interested in scheduling time at the NanoLab, please use the contact form. Contact Form
