What are the benefits of membership?
- Members enjoy immediate access to equipment ( i.e., a ready-made lab for many staff and students of faculty who lack certain lab items, are new and/or off-campus)
- Membership fees cover the cost of equipment maintenance, repair, service charges, etc., as well as training for student users.
- Advice and instruction as needed for planning experiments, obtaining supplies, etc.
- Training on the equipment use and safety for all members of the lab
- No fees for minor service work
- Reduced costs for consumables
- Access to lab outside normal business hours and on weekends and holidays.
Can people from private industry or other educational institutions use the AGL?
- Yes – but there is an increased fee for services.
If I am not a member, may I or my students still the equipment?
- Unfortunately not, but non-members can schedule to have the AGL lab manager run your samples. Costs are assessed on a per-sample basis.
