EMSL's photostream  

Welcome to the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a national scientific user facility in Richland, on the sunny eastern side of Washington State. EMSL offers an open, collaborative environment to scientists around the world. EMSL offers access to instruments -- otherwise unavailable to many at their home institutions -- to further their scientific studies. All resources housed within EMSL are available at no cost to the researchers if the results are shared in the open literature.

EMSL's technical experts and suite of custom and advanced instruments are unmatched. Its integrated computational and experimental capabilities enable scientists to realize fundamental scientific insights and create new technologies.

Access to EMSL resources is awarded on a peer-reviewed proposal basis. Researchers are encouraged to take advantage of the full complement of tools available and employ unique combinations of equipment and capabilities within EMSL.

Since opening its doors in 1997 on the grounds of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, scientific users from academia, industry, and national laboratories representing all 50 states and nearly 30 countries have applied EMSL resources to their research.

EMSL is sponsored by the Department of Energy's Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research.
