Instrument Scheduling & User Fees

Requesting Instrument Time

Access to the Advanced FT-IR User Facility is available to all Oklahoma State University researchers, external academic institutions, and industry partners. Due to the high demand and the specialized nature of our time-resolved laser setups, all instrument time must be scheduled in advance.

To request instrument time, training, or staff-assisted measurements, please complete our online scheduling form. A facility manager will review your request and contact you to confirm your booking or discuss experimental details.
