Reservation

To access instruments at PBCF, a user needs a PBCF-Badger account for reservations, usage, and billing. If you are a registered Badger user with another facility, you still need to create a PBCF-Badger account.

How to install Badger and Register

Badger for desktops/laptops is a Java client app. The Java 8 Runtime Environment (JRE) version is suggested. You need to download it on each computer from which you want to access Badger.

Use the link below to download PBCF-Badger

When you click on the downloaded jnlp file, it installs an icon on the desktop, which should be used to open the app.
