Guide for New Users

Getting Started

Welcome to SciTech!  We hope we are able to assist you in your research goals. To get started there are a few steps you will need to take:

  1. SciTech equipment and facilities require that new users be assisted or trained by SciTech staff.  For assistance, please contact the instrument manager from the instrument contacts table below.
  2. Create a FOM account by following the link: register for a FOM account. Request one or more instruments you wish to be trained to use.
  3. Review the SciTech User Agreement with your advisor.
  4. If you are applying to be an independent user on an instrument, complete the required online safety training.
  5. Email the instrument manager for the instrument of interest to schedule your initial training session.
