Scheduling and Fees
To schedule time for training on the instrument contact Paul Carpenter
(paulc@levee.wustl.edu) or
Dr. Jolliff (blj@levee.wustl.edu).
New users should be aware of the lab specific safety requirements and
should have participated or taken the EHS lab
safety training course offered online. In order to be trained on
the instrument, users must sign that they have read and understand the
lab specific safety sheet. Download a copy here
. When you have read it, contact Paul Carpenter or Dr. Jolliff
to make arrangements for a lab tour and to sign the blue book.
Dress Code in the lab:
Long pants and closed-toed shoes are a requirement in the lab (sandals
are not acceptable). You may also want to bring a jacket or sweater
with you, as it gets quite cold in the lab.
Instrument status:
The XRD is UP. If you have not used the instrument with the new x-ray tube, please see Paul Carpenter for information.
NEW POLICY
Until further notice all XRD users must use the instrument
only when Paul Carpenter or Brad Jolliff is present in the lab annex.
This means you may use the instrument during the time from 10am - 5pm
or by arrangement with Paul or Brad. This is due to ongoing problems
with our water chiller. Please remember this when scheduling time on
the calendar.
