Equipment use and costs

IMBM Equipment specifications, availability and costs:

The IMBM laboratory is well equipped and we would like to make the equipment available to the broader research community. There is a cost associated with operating and maintaining equipment so we do charge a fee for its use (see below). IMBM projects are prioritized in terms of scheduling, as the equipment is primarily there to serve our students. A form which helps us track who is using the equipment and that their supervisor(s) are aware of them using our equipment is provided below.

We do not provide the equipment as a service, and will not be held responsible for failed experiments. The equipment is provided with training to enable outside researchers to perform experiments and analysis on equipment they do not have in their own laboratories, to receive training on and become proficient in their use.
