Please Note:
- Commonly used reagents, buffers and drugs will be included in the assisted services. However, if a specific drug/reagent is required, users will have to provide their own, or may order with our help.
- Consulting is free of charge but obligatory part of every new project. Each project begins with a consultation meeting where the details and nature of the experiments and the expected outcomes will be discussed. Then, the project will be assigned to a respective platform/research engineer.
- It is possible for the users to perform certain experiments unassisted, but only upon agreement and initial training provided by the facility (at least 1 day of assisted work).
- The core reserves the right to revoke the access of the investigator to the platform in case of consistent inappropriate use of the equipment or failure to maintain a clean and safe working area within the core.
