Please contact us to schedule instrument time, and discuss how to supply a suitable sample at least few days before the scheduled time.
The rates for facility use differ according to who is using which instrument; rates are subject to change. Users are identified as Chemistry, University, and External. The definition of these three categories are as follows:
Chemistry
Chemistry Faculty including joint appointees without regard to funding source
Memos of Understanding with other Departments
Excludes non-Chemistry faculty who are co-principal investigators
University
UNC-CH Departments not covered under Chemistry
External
Other UNC campuses

a Trained users may collect their own data the charge will be instrument time determined by login to logoff of the instrument.
b Includes crystal mounting, up to 24 hours data collection and up to 8 hours time spent solving and refining the structure. The typical results will be a report and files necessary to publish the structure. After 8 hours the client will be requested to authorize further work on an hourly basis.
c Samples that are visibly suitable for diffraction purposes will be mounted and examined to see if they diffract. If this is the case then a unit cell and possibly crystal class will be determined. The charge represents 1 hour Instrument time plus 1 hour Operator time.
Custom experiments can be performed for a charge of Instrument time plus Operator time.
