Good to know

Can students from other colleges use the instruments themselves?

Yes. Research scholars and students from other institutions can apply on the Book the Facility page. After we verify your ID and supervisor letter and approve the request, you get a confirmed slot to work on the instrument at the centre.

What documents do I need to book the facility?

A photo or scan of your institution ID card. Students also need a letter from their research supervisor or head of department. PDF, JPG or PNG files up to 5 MB are accepted.

How long does verification and approval take?

Usually two to three working days. If we need more information we email you, and the status changes to “Information required” on the tracking page.

Do I need prior experience with the instrument?

No. Choose “Training” or “Assisted by staff” in the form if you are new to the instrument. Independent use is approved only for applicants with prior hands-on experience.

Can I change or cancel my slot?

Yes. Contact the centre quoting your BKG reference number at least one working day before your slot, and we will reschedule or cancel it.
