The ENIF facility is accessible to all qualified researchers at UNL, other universities, industries, and other laboratories upon payment of the appropriate charges. All users are required to take all appropriate safety training from University Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) and obtain appropriate training and instruction from the facility specialist specific to each instrument. To complete training, users must demonstrate sufficient proficiency before and during equipment usage.
Most instruments require a reservation before use. In the unlikely event that more than one researcher simultaneously needs equipment, members of the UNL community receive priority.
In some cases, research collaboration is possible for common research interests and/or if researchers need the equipment's capabilities and experienced examination of samples but cannot use the facilities for themselves. Limited full-service handling and examination of materials are available for these researchers according to the availability of the facility specialist.
