Technical Testing Agreements (TTA)

As a leading research university, we have the opportunity to help other academic institutions in their research efforts. By setting up an account with our facility, academic institutions can analyze their samples at a fraction of the normal industry rates, thereby saving valuable research funding.

In order to protect the confidentiality of your work the University of Illinois requires you to establish a Technical Testing Agreement (TTA). If you would like to start an account here please download and fill in the appropriate form, below.
