Welcome to the Nanotech User Facility
The NanoTech User Facility at the Center for Nanotechnology was established in 1998 to
provide the Pacific Northwest nanotechnology community with access to advanced charaterization and nanofabrication
tools. In 2004, NTUF expanded its role to national level by becoming one of thirteen nodes of the NSF sponsored
National Nanotechnology Infrastructure
Network (NNIN). The mission of NTUF within NNIN is to provide access to emerging nanoscale tools with an emphasis on the applications of nanotechnology in biology and life sciences. In addition, NTUF coordinates network-wide interactions with the NSF Ocean Observatories Initiative and is in charge of energizing research in underwater sensing made possible by recent advances in nano- and microtechnology.
Located in the new Molecular Engineering & Science Building the NTUF occupies over 3,000 sq ft of new laboratory space (link) equipped with research tools and facilities targeted towards the investigative needs of nanobio users. Since 2011, NTUF operates jointly with the College of Engineering's Microfabrication Facility (MFF), which provides access to complementary photolithography, thin-film deposition, plasma and chemical etching, and characterization processes.
We operate as an open facility available to users from both academia and industry. Scheduling use is done by a new shared campus service called Web Coral - this provides non Java based access using your web browser device.
