There are two LCLS Sample Preparation Laboratories (SPLs). The Far Experimental Hall (FEH) wetland (image above right) is a small general use lab located in Rm 109 of the FEH servicing the MEC, CXI, MFX, and XCS hutches.  The Near Experimental Hall (NEH) wet lab (image above left) is a small general use lab located in Rm 112 of the NEH servicing the ChemRIXS, TMO, TMI and XPP hutches.  Both labs are located conveniently close to their respective beam lines in order to facilitate final stage sample preparations immediately prior to and during the beamtime. Space is limited in both labs, so certain experimental activities may be limited or moved to the Arrillaga Science Center labs. All access must be schedule in advance by filling out the User Access Agreement.  Lab bench spaces are typically assigned for 2 days prior to 2 days after the experiment.  Lab training is required for access, for specifics see the SPL access tab on the left.
