Add Your Instrument to the Analytical Instrument Registry

Type of Instrument:Create an independent record for each instrument in your laboratory. Check more than one instrument below ONLY if they are PART of the SAME SYSTEM, e.g. SEM/BSE/EDS. If you are planning to register more than one instrument in your laboratory, a) fill out the form for the first instrument, b) submit using the button at the bottom of the form, and c) use your "back" button to recover the general information and modify your entries that are specific to a new instrument and submit again.
