X-ray cluster: Usage & Training

We offer equipment training for most of the techniques available in FACTS. Training modules are tailored to give users a solid understanding of the technique and the ability to operate the instruments independently. 

We also offer usage with assistance for users who require assistance in collecting and analysing their data. This is an option for those who only have few samples for analysis. 

X-ray cluster 1: Shimadzu Thin film XRD

X-ray Cluster 2: Bruker D8 Advance and Rigaku Miniflex 600C
