All Core Facilities listed below reside within the Department of Bioengineering research space and as such users must undergo relevant inductions, and follow all local, departmental and College rules at all times.
Core facilities must be booked prior to the required time by using the appropriate booking calendar. Access is only granted after training and induction is completed and the access request form approved.
Facilities are charged at a minimum possible rate to cover only the maintenance and upkeep of the equipment itself, i.e. to break even only, none of the facilities run to provide funds for upgrades, replacements or additions. New facilities, upgrades and additions must be costed on academic grant proposals.
