Getting Started

Requesting Access

A New User Access Request Form must be submitted to use the Singh Center facilities.
The form may take a few days to process, pending signatures from your PI and Grants Manager.
Send any questions about access request forms to admin@nano.upenn.edu
A NEMO account will be created after the form is processed.
NEMO logins are associated with a PennKey.

First Login

After account creation, go to nemo.nano.upenn.edu and log in with your PennKey credentials.
Click on the Rules Tutorial banner at the top of the page and complete it. Failure to complete the rules tutorial will prevent other actions such as making reservations and logging in to tools.

Trainings

There are two types of trainings: open and closed.

• Open trainings tend to be for small groups and are more regularly scheduled. Registration for these trainings can be found on specific tool calendars or on the training dashboard under Upcoming Training Sessions. If you are unavailable for an open training for a specific tool you need, you may request training from the calendar, requests page, or My Training Requests of the training dashboard. Look for a button that says "New Training Request."
• Most tools have closed trainings, which are scheduled individually (or for small groups with similar specimens.) If you cannot find an open training for the tool you need, request a training from the calendar, requests page, or My Training Requests of the training dashboard. Look for a button that says "New Training Request."
• If you are uncertain, contact the responsible staff for a given tool. Tool managers are listed under the Details tab of the Tool Control page for a given tool, or on the tool's wiki page.
  

Staff will contact you to coordinate closed trainings and ask any other relevant details about your project. In some cases, staff will recommend a different tool than the one requested.
Please be aware that some tools require multiple training sessions.
After successful completion of training, you will be qualified on a tool and be able to make reservations and log in to tools (assuming the Rules Tutorial has been completed.)

The Training page (training dashboard) has multiple tabs to organize training tasks.

• My training requests displays trainings made in response to requests and any pending requests.
• Training history shows past training related events (a log of past sessions, requests, invitations, etc.)
• Upcoming training sessions displays all upcoming training sessions, including those made not in response to requests.
