For interested users, please take note:
- Charges below do not include Goods and Service Tax (GST)
- Office hours refer to 8 am - 6 pm (Monday to Friday; excluding public holidays)
- Charging applies to all research staff and students.
- Undergraduates are only allowed to operate Thermionic SEMs and XRD cluster 1.
- Undergraduates are allowed to use XRD cluster 2 (subject to approval).
They have to submit their samples to the person in-charge. Charges will be incurred. - Minimum 1 hour usage charge for SEM/XRD, 2 hours for TEM / FIB.
- For priority booking, a 100% extra charge will be imposed.
- Charges will still
apply if users cancel booking
within 24 hours or fail to turn up for usage thereafter. Hence, users are advised to cancel their slot early, in order for other users to use the instrument.
- For non-NTU users, only Usage with technical assistance from our scientists.
Please email us at facts@ntu.edu.sg for a quote, including full details on your samples.
* For single crystal XRD, each sample run is capped @ 300 SGD/hr.
** For EPMA, usage with technical assistance only. 50% discount for long single overnight runs.
*** For FIB training, if user is not proficient enough to operate the FIB at the end of the training, extra day(s) of training will be required at the rate of 400SGD/day.
