Mail-in Services

Mail-In Services

Mail-In Service allows users to send their samples to TARLA, where measurements are carried out by beamline personnel assigned to eligible projects. This service is available for both academic and industrial projects.

Academic Mail-In Access

While some experiments require users to be present on-site, routine analyses can be conducted through the mail-in option. Samples must be submitted by users with an active TARLA project.

Although a time slot will be allocated for the experiment, measurements may be carried out at flexible times depending on the availability of the beamline staff. It is not guaranteed that all your samples will be analyzed within the originally planned timeframe. During the course of the experiment, beamline staff may contact you to request additional information or support for decision-making.

Users who wish to benefit from this service should contact the beamline responsible as early as possible to discuss planning and technical details.

If mail-in access is granted, please share your experimental plan and clarify the following with the beamline personnel in advance:
• The expected timing for sample shipment
• The expected completion date for the measurements
• Your technical requirements

Shipping and Sample Delivery

To ensure successful delivery and receipt of your samples, TARLA’s shipping instructions must be followed. The user is responsible for providing necessary safety documentation and handling any customs procedures, if applicable.

Publications and Acknowledgements

All studies conducted fully or partially at TARLA must include an acknowledgement of TARLA infrastructure in the resulting publications. Users are also required to report their publications via the TARLA User Portal. These records are taken into account in evaluating the scientific performance of the facility and may serve as a reference for future user applications.

Fees

For sample delivery services, please contact the Projects Unit. For detailed information on this subject, please contact proje@tarla-fel.org.

Remote-controlled experimental access is currently not available at TARLA beamlines.
