The College of Engineering's Research Service Centers (RSC) support and enhance the research, education, and public service missions of the University of Florida by providing access to characterization and process instrumentation. Expert staff provides the assistance and guidance necessary so that students, faculty, and industry get the most effective and appropriate use of the center's facilities.
Major Analytical Instrumentation Center The Major Analytical Instrumentation Center (MAIC) is a materials characterization and analysis facility established to provide analytical support for Florida's scientific and engineering community in meeting the challenge of technology development. MAIC is a user oriented facility that provides service to the University of Florida, the state university system (SUS), and the industrial and commercial community. |
Particle Engineering Research Center The Particle Engineering Research Center (PERC) grew out of a National Science Foundation ERC into one of the premier particle characterization facilities in the US. The PERC provides the instrumentation and expertise to synthesize and characterize particulate systems for a wide variety of applications across a broad range of industries. There are over 30 instruments available for analyzing particle size, shape, surface and bulk powder properties along with spectroscopic, imaging and analytical instrumentation for chemical analysis and systems characterization. |
The Nanoscale Research Facility (NRF) service center was created to provide a state-of-the-art facility for: university research in micro/nano device fabrication, teaching laboratories associated with micro/nano fabrication, and a collaborative, open environment. The NRF currently houses over 60 fabrication and inspection related tools with a purchase cost of over $8M. The facility and its resources are available to the entire university community and provide an excellent foundation for current research and grant proposals. |
