Training Materials and Reference Documents
If you would like to submit a request to schedule a training session or a checkout session, please use this form: Training Request Form.
Below is a list of all the PINMRF documents available for download in PDF format. Documents will open in a new window.
Please note that the Overview Document contains, amongst other things, a discussion of our training practices and requirements. To summarize that document, new users may receive training from PINMRF staff or from qualified members of their research group. If the latter method is chosen, the current PINMRF user guide(s) must be used as instruction materials. All new users must pass both written and practical checkout quizzes prior to being allowed access to the instruments.
NOTE REGARDING THE AV-800: If you are a currently checked-out PINMRF Bruker user you may have access to the AV-800 after completing an approved TopSpin orientation session given by PINMRF staff or their designees. If you want AV-800 access and you are not checked out on the PINMRF Brukers, you must successfully complete Bruker training before requesting AV-800 orientation.
