Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and state of emergency in Massachusetts, our facility, along with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as a whole, will be closed until further notice. Although essential employees are maintaining the facility, we are unable to accommodate visitors for analytical sessions at this time. Upon reopening of the WHOI Quissett campus, we anticipate opening the facility for analytical sessions on a mail-in basis only. These sessions will be run by our staff, with video conferring communication throughout. We intend to return to user visits at a later date, when it is deemed safe to do so by the appropriate local, state, and federal health officials. Please contact Brian Monteleone (bmonteleone@whoi.edu) and/or Glenn Gaetani (ggaetani@whoi.edu) with any questions about future sessions.
