Schedule
- The ion probe group meets on a bi-weekly basis to assess the instrument schedule. Be aware that there exists a high demand for analytical time; most user requests can be accommodated within a 4 month window
- Selection criteria for prioritization of instrument time include support from NSF, appropriateness of the project to existing applications and capabilities, relevance to anticipated instrument development, and judgment of what projects/users will derive the greatest benefit
