The SMART Labs LMACS (Laboratory Management Access Control System) is open to application for the general public and is not limited to members of the SMART Network or academic institutions. |
...
Most of the equipment in the SMART Network falls in at least one of these three categories below.
Type 1 - Self Service | Type 2 - Fee for Service | Type 3 - Collaboration |
Devices with the self service option are able to be used by an individual after requesting training on the device in LMACS with a staff member. Some tools may require multiple training sessions and it will be up to the trainer to determine when the user is deemed proficient to obtain a “Trained” designation on the device. Once a user is “Trained” the users are able to reserve the equipment using the LMACS. | This is used for devices that training is not available for or when a user needs a very limited number of results or units and it maybe impractical to be trained on the device for the limited run. Users may opt for this service for very specific or advanced results as well. Requests can be made through LMACS for this service and quotes are always made before work is performed. | Some highly specialized devices maybe available to be used as the base devices used in studies and papers. These devices may be custom made or can greatly benefit from having a researcher with prior experience with it. Pricing on these devices are on a case by case bases. Request for collaboration or information on these devices can be made in LMACS. |
