Instrument Facilities

Most instruments in the Instrument Laboratory are available for researchers to use for their experiments once they have received the required training. Reservations for many instruments can be made on-line by a qualified user once they have been provided access to the calendars by Dr. George Dubay. Requests for training and instrument access should be directed to Dr. Dubay at george.dubay@duke.edu.
