CAF offers both a routine automated service as well as the potential for collaborative expertise to scientists throughout the University and external users. Some instruments are run by dedicated operators only whereas others are available for use by anyone who has undergone the requisite training. To discuss the services on offer, the charges made for instrument time, the possibility of collaboration and the booking of instruments contact the relevant section managers.
