Argonne Research Facilities
National User Facilities
Argonne designs, builds, operates and manages many outstanding scientific
and engineering research facilities and welcomes the brightest
minds from industry, academia
and other government laboratories to pursue scientific discovery and innovation.
Six of these facilities are official U.S. Department of Energy Scientific
User Facilities, one is a DOE Leadership Computing Facility, and one is
a U.S. Department of Transportation National Supercomputer Facility:
Operated as national scientific resources, these facilities are
sophisticated research machines that would be too expensive
for a single company or university to build and operate. When research
results will be published in the open literature, researchers may use
these facilities without charge. When results are to be kept proprietary,
a fee is charged for their use.
Ricketts Regional Biocontainment Laboratory
The University of Chicago's Howard
T. Ricketts Laboratory will soon open at Argonne National Laboratory's
DuPage County campus. Funded by the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases, the Ricketts Laboratory is one of nine regional
biocontainment laboratories that the National
Institutes of Health plan to
fund for the study of organisms important to national biodefense
efforts as well as those causing emerging infectious diseases.
Other Argonne facilities available to outside researchers
Argonne has many other laboratories and research facilities that
are also open to outside researchers from industry, academia and other national
laboratories for a cost-recovery-based fee. On a negotiated basis, research
results may be kept proprietary or published in the open literature at the
user's discretion.
If you are interested in arranging research at one of the
facilities on this list, but there is no live link or point of contact listed
for further information, please send email to
Argonne's Office of Technology Transfer or visit their
