SAGES enables shared use of research facilities across Scotland, with the principles of access to these facilities at the home institutional rate at all SAGES members. A review of SAGES facilities has recently been completed and SAGES partners are investing in new equipment and facilities. Those facilities available to the shared facilities pool are listed here.
