To request local safety training for facility access, please contact the facility manager, Dr Sofia Caria. Inductions are typically arranged within 24 to 48 hours, with facility access granted the same day provided all mandatory prerequisite courses have been completed beforehand.

In-House Equipment Users

For researchers who do not require Diamond synchrotron access but wish to use in-house instrumentation — including the Mosquito LCP, Dragonfly, microscopes, or biophysical equipment (ITC, CD, SEC-MALS) — specific instrument training can be scheduled directly with the facility manager, Dr Sofia Caria.

Note: Once trained, all users must book instrument sessions in advance via PPMS prior to starting work so facility utilisation can be assessed.
