Accessing MCN

Dedicated staff are on hand to provide either services or training and technical support to users where appropriate. Industry access at commercial rates is available for proprietary research. Research collaborations, contract research and development or consulting are also welcomed.

The following four steps are required to access the MCN facilities and services.

Step 1:

The first step is to contact one of our Instrument Managers or email MCN-enquiries@monash.edu. They can advise you on the feasibility of your proposed project, and can usually give you a time line and cost estimate. MCN will respond to your initial contact within two working days.

Step 2:

Once you have agreed your project details with the relevant Instrument Manager(s) you will be asked to submit a user registration form located on our online booking system.

Step 3: 

Once your registration is approved you will need to attend an MCN facility induction if you intend to perform any of the work yourself.

Information on all aspects of MCN is contained in the USER MANUAL.

MCN Safety inductions are held onsite every Monday at 10:00am, unless advised otherwise. No booking is required, please check the MCN website before attending in case the induction session has been rescheduled.

"No Facility User Inductions will be held on Monday 23rd January 2012".

Please contact the facility manager if you have any questions regarding inductions.
