Instrument Scheduling & Training

Like other facilities at LSU, the X-ray Crystallography Facility uses the  Faces Scheduling System  developed and maintained at the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center at The University of Georgia. The X-ray Crystallography Facility group on Faces is called "LSUXRAY". The scheduling system includes schedules for the MALDI and the Advion ExpressIon systems. These schedules cover an entire week, 24/7.

Please note that the schedules allow you to book up to 8 hours per session.

Please access the RSO training at this link: RSO training page. Currently, you need to complete modules 1 through 5 and module 8. Afterward, you will be able to schedule your exam with an RSO officer.
