NMIC Equipment Training Program Funded by the USDA

Through a grant provided by the USDA, Rural Business Enterprise Grant program, the NMIC is able to offer these equipment training classes on a fee reimbursed basis to qualified New York State Company’s (small-to-medium sized businesses of less than 50 employees).

This will provide qualified New York State companies a valuable opportunity to explore applications in various types of advanced processing equipment related to nano-synthesis and microwave processing.  Participants will also learn how energy-cost effective processing methods can be implemented into their own businesses without the costly upfront purchase of equipment.

The NMIC Equipment Training Program is available at a reimbursed fee of $250 per person*.  Training is offered in one-half day and whole day sessions dependant on the type of equipment training desired and whether one or more equipment types are requested.   The course will cover Safety Procedures, Process Methodology and Operations Procedures.  A Certificate of Training will be provided to each individual upon completion of training, effective for a period of 6 months (this will be extended at no additional cost if lab use extends beyond a 6 month consecutive period).  If there is a 3 month consecutive period of non-use of equipment after the 6 month certificate date, re-certification will be required at the regular rate and terms previously stated. Equipment training is offered for the following:

The NanoMaterials Innovation Center (NMIC) is a flexible synthesis and processing center. This unique research center encourages and supports market driven collaborations between universities, industry and private labs.  The NMIC is an enabler of technology transfer for nano-materials science and microwave processing technology. We can provide synthesis capabilities for nano-structured materials development from carbon nano-tubes to high-purity phosphors for next generation lighting materials.   Our products also include a family of rare earth doped phosphors, SOFC materials, and microwave processing support peripherals.
