External users who are not affiliated with Northwestern University are also welcome to use the Keck Biophysics Facility. External users can either submit samples for experiments run by Keck staff (more common/easier), or attend a training session and use the needed equipment on site (not all instruments are available for this option).
To make an inquiry about a potential experiment, please fill our the sample submission form or email us at keck.biophysics@northwestern.edu
Once we discuss your samples/experiment, we will let you know whether or not we can accept your request. If we do, we will send you a quote, and depending on if you are paying with a purchase order, you will need to send us a PO.
We will then either schedule a time to drop off samples for a staff service, or set up a time for instrument training and allotted instrument usage.
Once the service is completed, an invoice will be sent to you. Once payment is received we will send you the results. For instrument training and usage, payments must be received beforehand.
For PO and check payments, please be sure to make this payment to the Keck Biophysics Facility at Northwestern University and send to the following address. DO NOT send it to the default Northwestern University address.
