With strong support from both the academic and technical staff, the Center of Major Equipment and Technology (COMET) was established in June 2008 to increase efficiency, lower running costs, and better maintain MEL’s large equipment. COMET has successfully established a framework with necessary infrastructure and operational protocols. The web-based equipment inventory, together with the maintenance and booking system, have fully demonstrated the openness, transparency, efficiency and professionalism that an advanced laboratory should have. Special attention has been paid to laboratory safety and technical staff training so as to provide a safe and effective infrastructure and state-of-the-art technological support to boost research excellence.
