Welcome to the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) of the "Hultgren Laboratory", one of KTH Royal Institute of Technology's 12 infrastructures. The Hultgren Lab is operated by the Unit of the Hultgren Laboratory for Materials Characterisation, which is a research unit within the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The Hultgren Laboratory provides academic and industrial researchers access to a broad range of material characterization and sample preparation tools required for solid-state materials analysis.
