Shared equipment

First-time users and external users

We have several instruments available for LUMC researchers. We also provide the necessary consumables and reagents

First time users will get a short introduction course by an LGTC technician, and will be allowed to use the instrument once training is completed. Please contact the LGTC to make an appointment.
We ask that you do not train your colleagues yourself, but redirect them to our team for the introduction course instead. This is necessary for us to manage our system and keep track of all users.
Certain equipment is also available for external use. Users from outside LUMC can contact the LGTC for more information: info@lgtc.nl.
