    The PLASMA\u00a0<\/em><\/span>facility<\/span>\u00a0provides use of instruments and technical support in setting up analytical runs, but we are not a full-service analytical lab with regards to producing finalized data. It is the responsibility of the users to choose the analytical methods and protocols which will yield high-quality data for their unique application, and to perform all post-processing of raw data for finalization. We are always willing to offer friendly advice on an ad hoc basis, and users have the option to pay for technical support for methods development. But final responsibility for data quality lies with users.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":332,"featured_media":243,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-content-detail.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-215","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nServices -
