Required basic EPR training for new users of the MRRC

Welcome to the Magnetic Resonance Research Center at the University of Notre Dame. To obtain access to our instruments, you should thoroughly review the resources listed below and pass two short quizzes. One quiz will be online focused on safety and general regulations in the MRRC instrument rooms. The second quiz will be administered by the NMR Director and will focus specifically on safety and details of room-temperature EPR operation.

NOTE: If you are already an established NMR user, you do NOT need to pass the online quiz again. Please, proceed to “EPR Training 2” and contact Dr. Kovrigin for the quiz when you are ready.
