ADMIRE tool table


The aim of this list is to supply useful information about tools around Lund University.

The idea is that if you are interested in trying out a technique or need to talk to someone who has knowledge of a particular method, here you can find it. Some of the tools are "public" and can be used by anyone by paying by the hour or similar whereas some tools belong to specific research groups. If you are interested, the easiest way to proceed would be to approach one of the ADMIRE members listed as users and they can tell you more about how to get access to the tool and what it is capable of.

This list is only as useful as we make it; if you are using a tool which is not listed, please drop us a line with some information and we'll add it. You can either send us an email or fill out our form.
If you are using a tool listed, we can add you as a user as well if you let us know.

We hope you will put this list to good use.
