Rational acquisition of laboratory equipment: an accurate mathematical model to estimate the trade‐offs in shared and nonshared equipment

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 638-645, June 2026.
We present a quantitative framework combining cost modelling and queueing theory to estimate hourly access costs, waiting times and congestion levels for shared high‐end scientific equipment.
