Routine Analysis: Samples may be submitted by campus researchers for routine analysis on any of the instruments within the UIC. Our professional staff is capable of performing the analysis and assisting in the interpretation of the results.

Hands-On Use of UIC Instruments: If a UIC instrument is to be used as a major tool in a research project, the UIC will provide training on the instrument to enable the researcher to become a certified operator.
