Once the person gets enough confidance to run the system then I will leave to him/her to get his work done when ever he wishes to. All that he/she needs is to "book the system" in adavnce. Without booking you may able to use it but at times you may find somebody using it and you may need to wait until he/she finishes which may be a waste of time. And so I advice all those who wish to use for thier work to book in advance in order to finish without distrubbing others.
For any technical difficulties and troubles don't try to repair and resolve yourself. It is strongly advised to get in touch with me for any technical issues, troubles to resolve promptly with minimal dissruption.
This instrument can also be used for commericial testing purposes with external collaborators and customers on the cost basis and all those who wish to get thier sample analysis done please be in touch with me. I will guide you the necessary steps to get your samples analysed.
