Charging and Billing

The Facility operates on a Fee for Service basis which will include maintenance, data acquisition, analysis and consultation.

There is no charge for time needed to sterilize the machines or to set up the 96-well single cell acquisition.

Users are not billed for time needed for instrument repair or configuration unless this results from poor user sample quality (i.e. sticky or clumpy cells) or a failure of the user to adequately communicate required analysis parameters in advance.

At the end of each month, the Core Director will submit a list of service charges to Research Finance sorted by Principal Investigator and the monthly charge amount. A Monthly Statement will be sent to each PI. Research Finance will debit the corresponding account number and credit all revenue to the Flow Cytometry Core Facility budget.
