- Request for lab facilities
If facilities are needed to perform some sample processes, it should be clearly stated in advance to the Local Contact, once scientists receive their invitation, or on the A-form when submitting and if scientists already know the site and facilities offered.

The EMBL laboratory, located close to the ESRF Experimental Hall, provides basic biochemical, biological, biophysical and crystal mounting facilities, which are available for ESRF Users. Crystal/sample mounting laboratories are provided at the beamlines as support labs.
If you wish to use the EMBL facility you must take note of the Charter For Use and return this form by email to the EMBL and the ESRF, one month before you need to use the facility. Once basic equipment is available, e.g.:
For more specific or complex requirements, please send an email.
Some facilities not directly related to beamlines may be subject to declaration, as for example the icOS (In Crystallo Optical Spectroscopy) lab (ex Cryobench). If you wish to use the icOS lab instruments, you must email this form to: icos saff and the Safety Group two weeks ahead of the planned experiment. Further information about the icOS instruments can be found here. Samples used for such experiments should be declared to the Safety Group for validation using a Sample Sheet as previously described and sent to the Safety Group. These off-line experiments are subject to “on line” internal regulations i.e. valid Users' Safety Training.
