Cryostat Training | Histology Core Facility


Description
This training is for Cryostats within the TRI Histology Core Facility. You must first complete the Histology Facility Overview and How To course.

Completion of this training module is required before you will be granted PPMS booking rights. The training package consists of reading through important safety and operational information, which will be followed by a face-to-face practical session with Core Facility staff. Once you have satisfied these requirements, you will need to complete a brief assessment in the TRI learning centre to check your competency before equipment booking rights will be granted.
