The Instrument Pool consists of portable research instruments available for short-term (1-3 months)
loan to research grant and studentship holders. Preference is given to researchers and students
funded by the EPSRC but other members of the UK academic community are also able to apply to use the Pool.
Instruments will be transported to the user and demonstrated but it is the responsibility of users
to apply them to their own work and to operate them whilst on loan. Users are also expected to supply
appropriate consumables, take appropriate Health and Safety precautions, and provide adequate insurance
to cover against accidental damage and theft while the instruments are in their possession.
For technical advice on suitability, availability and liability for charges, please contact the
Engineering Instrument Pool on the 24hr telephone number: 01235 446272 or e-mail
Adrian.Walker@stfc.ac.uk. Following discussions with a
member of the Engineering Instrument Pool staff, an instrument request form
(word document) may be submitted.
