Access for academic users 2018

​​1. Self-service users


The preferred way of using the equipment at CEITEC Nano Research Infrastructure for academic users is self-service open access. The instrument running cost is 100% covered by CEITEC Nano, only the administration and training fee is paid by the user.

Access to all CEITEC Nano equipment via booking systemCZK (without VAT)EUR (without VAT)
User fee for new and regular users30,000/year1,154/year


Self-service users gain full independent access to all CEITEC Nano labs and access to all instruments via the booking system. Authorization to work on individual instruments is required and can be obtained after proper training.

1. Register via Perun website – https://idm.ics.muni.cz/ceitec/registrar/?vo=ceitec&group=CEITECNANO
    (it takes about 15min to be able to login with your new user account)

2. Print the CEITEC Nano User fee agreement & Solemn declaration and sign it. If you have a faculty advisor and/or sponsor have them sign it as well. Bring the agreement to the user office or scan and email it to nano@ceitec.vutbr.cz.

3. Thoroughly study the CEITEC Nano User Manual, then pass the exam (see Trainings->General trainings).

  • Wait to receive an email (this can take up to 5 working days) which shows your score and whether or not you passed the exam. Please note: You need to be registered via Perun website to get access link to online test - see No. 1
  • If you did not pass the exam, you can Correct and resubmit the exam at the CEITEC Nano User Manual Exam page.

4. Contact the CEITEC Nano User Office to schedule a laboratory safety excursion. The CEITEC Nano User Office can be reached via email nano@ceitec.vutbr.cz or by phone 54114 9206.

  • Full CEITEC Nano excursion – 2 hrs.
  • Nanofabrication laboratory – 45 min.
  • Nanocharacterization laboratory – 30 min.
  • Structural analysis laboratory – 30 min.

5. After you have completed all of the access requirements, you can start with the training for individual equipment.

2. Services for academic users

For occasional users, where training is unfeasible, full-service processing of user’s samples can be provided by CEITEC Nano staff. Full-service users do not need any training, their samples are handled by CEITEC Nano staff. They can be present at the measurement only as visitors under the supervision of authorized personnel.


How to order full-service

  1. Contact the CEITEC Nano User Office at nano@ceitec.vutbr.cz or via phone 54114 9200 to discuss your processing requirements.
  2. The CEITEC Nano financial department will send you a quotation for CEITEC Nano services. We provide support regarding internal invoicing from projects running at CEITEC and BUT. Contact CEITEC Nano financial manager Kateřina Tydlačková (+420 54114 9205) with your questions.
  3. If you agree with the quotation send the purchase order to nano@ceitec.vutbr.cz
  4. CEITEC Nano staff will process your samples and prepare a processing/measurement report.
  5. Upon agreement an invoice will be emailed to you together with the samples or measurement data.

Prices for academic users
