Using MUMMS and Coral
CMSE Coral is the new lab management system that the CMSE is using for instrument reservations and billing. CMSE Coral is composed of two parts:
- CMSE MUMMS is a web-based application to manage your account and lab access. Before using any equipment, you must register in MUMMS.
- CMSE Coral is a stand-alone application for lab management. You will use CMSE Coral to reserve instruments and to record your instrument use for billing purposes.
You must create an account in CMSE MUMMS before you can use Coral to reserve instrument time.
Please note that MTL also uses the Coral system for lab management. The MTL and CMSE Coral servers are different-- you must create a different account for MTL and CMSE. No information is shared between the MTL and CMSE systems. However, all SEFs in the CMSE will be using the same Coral system-- so your account to access the CMSE X-Ray SEF will also allow you to access the CMSE Electron Microscopy SEF.
This guide includes instructions for:
- Registering an account in CMSE MUMMS
