Everything you need to process in the MNTC
Facility Online Management
Use FOM to request training for MNTC equipment. You can also use FOM to reserve and log in to tools. (sign in required)
Lab Safety
Learn about how to safely process in the cleanroom and make sure you know everything you need to about any chemicals you are working with in the lab.
MNTC Rates and Prices [PDF]
The MNTC operates out of the University of Louisville, a publicly funded university. Because of this, all of our service rates are publicly advertised.
