One of the medium sized LN2 dewars has two missing fittings. If anyone knows where they may have gone to please let me know.

For those instruments on the electronic system, you should tap in when you enter the lab for a scheduled session. When your analysis is completed, for all samples, tap out prior to leaving the lab. 

Changes to the logbook can be submitted using the Logbook Update Request Form.

If you end your session early or cancel a reservation, always update the Google Calendar. 

Just a reminder that the previous use rates expired on September 30, 2022. The instrument rates have been renewed and are effective from October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2024. Detailed information is available on the Use Rate section of the ACMAL website.

Please remember to close the lab doors at the end of your session. These are very expensive instruments and we want to ensure they don’t get damaged.

Due to the scheduled building power outages and in the best interest of the instruments and computer systems the x-ray laboratory will be electrically shut down from Wednesday 5-4-2022  beginning at 3 pm until 7 am Friday 5-6-2022. If you need XRD computing during this time please see me prior to shutdown.

2:21 p.m. The instruments are back online.

1:07 p.m. There was a brief power outage and the instruments are down until I can get them back online. Hopefully it will only take an hour or so.
