Laboratory Use
Below follows a presentation of the available laboratories at the Abisko Scientific Research Station. Please note that you always have to obtain permission from the research station or CIRC (see lab plans for details) to use any lab space or instrument. It is also necessary once permission has been obtained to sign-up for lab or instrument time. There is a sign-up sheet located outside of each lab and individual sign-up sheets located near each instrument. Each lab and instrument page lists the contact person.
Laboratory Safety
Safety is always your first priority when working in the lab or the field. The Abisko Scientific Research Station has developed a set of laboratory guidelines in collaboration with us and you must comply. In addition, Umeå University requires its researchers to conduct a “risk assessement”. All researchers are required to read through these documents before using laboratory facilities at the research station.
These guidelines contain information believed to be reliable regarding the safe use and handling of chemicals in our laboratories. It is intended to serve only as a beginning point for information and should not be construed as containing all the necessary compliance, safety, or warning information.

Lab Calendar (View Only)
The calendar below shows both availability for all CIRC labs in Abisko. It does not provide information about ANS labs. These must be booked directly with ANS. Putting activities on the calendar allows us all to get an overview of daily activities. You can be given access to these booking calendars by request to Karl Heuchel, note you need a Google account to use them. If you do not have a Google account nor want one, then just sending your requests to Keith Larson and he will put them on the calendar.
