VPTN Australian Research Infrastructure Network software

The Victorian Platform Technologies Network (VPTN) has developed software that enables industry and researchers easy access to public research instruments and capabilities. The Australian Research Infrastructure Network (ARIN) facilitates access to capabilities located across various organisations. The software allows researchers from industry and academia to access publicly funded research infrastructure located across Victorian universities, medical research institutes and research organisations.

Anyone can browse ARIN’s facilities, instruments and services before even logging in - then it’s just a matter of creating an account and requesting access. From a single user account, one can request access to any instrument, service or product in any participating facility. Technologies available for access via the software include gene sequencing, flow cytometry, microscopy and micro-nano research, with many more on the horizon.
