A guide for new X-ray Users
Our Diffractometers are normally operated in two ways:
- By trained users
- As a service
- By trained users: Rigaku instruments are accessible to anyone who has been trained (Users Training) on their use by the X-ray lab staff and group supervisors, performing work for their own research groups. Each authorized-user account is given a special permission for scheduling time on the instruments.
- As a service: the X-ray lab staff, as well as for external users, does Small molecules structure determination.
