One of the iDiv missions is to foster joint scientific projects via e.g., creating new opportunities of sharing an equipment with each other. The Flexpool is a perfect mechanism to support these missions. Via the Flexpool, a variety of equipment for lab- and field-work has been acquired that could be used by the iDiv consortium.

The following equipment is available:
