I am doing a survey to find out how many people are looking for lab equipment. For instance, you go to start a new experiment and you need GC-MS, but you don't have it in your lab. Do you know where to look? In my experience the equipment is usually on the same campus, but I did not know it and I did not know how to go about approaching the people in charge. There is disparity amongst academia and industry as well as within institutions. The survey will show if this disparity really exists or if it is just my colleagues and I that experience this....
