About the Instrument Laboratory

The Instrument Laboratory (I-Lab) saw the light of day in 2016 through organizational merging of the three instrument workshops at the Department of Chemistry, the Department of Physics and the Department of Biosciences. The University has seen the usefulness and own development of new measuring instruments for experimental research as early as 1875 when the first instrument workshop was established at the Department of Physics. Today, I-Lab is divided into two units, Kristine Bonnevies house (IBV) and the Physics building (Physics), pending the move into new premises in the Chemistry Building. There are currently 12 permanent employees at I-Lab and in addition we have a training program so that we always have an apprentice in fine mechanics profession with us. There has been a rapid development in the instrument workshop from the very beginning where paper, pencil and file were important aids, until now mostly constructed and controlled from a PC.. I-Lab has traditional chip swapping machines such as milling and turning machines, 3D printers and per cd four CNC machines and a grant of three new ones standing on hold until the new premises are finished. More information about I-Lab can be found on our website.
