Support for Internet Explorer (IE11)
Microsoft has begun scaling back support on Internet Explorer as they are retiring the browser in June 2022. As a result, to ensure a secure and optimal experience for all our users, BenchSci will no longer support Internet Explorer starting August 17, 2021.
Users will need to use one of the supported browsers to log into ASCEND after August 17, 2021. Users that try to log in using Internet Explorer will see a message directing them to try one of the supported browsers listed above.
