Dear Flow Cytometry core users:
To optimize the use of our shared flow instruments, we are implementing the following updates to the reservation policies, effective Jan. 14, 2025:
- Flexible modifications
Users now can modify or cancel their reserved flow slot up to 15 minutes before their scheduled start time. If you canceled your reservation, please kindly inform the other users scheduled on that day.
- Accurate time reservation
Please reserve the appropriate amount of time for your experiment, A 30-minutes grace period will be allowed. However, overbooking by more than 30 minutes will be billed for the full reserved time, rather than the logged time.
- No-show charges
Failure to show up for the reserved time will incur a charge for the full reserved time.
- Post-use responsibilities
Please check the reservation calendar after using. Last user during the work day (8 a.m.-5 p.m.) and last user of the day should perform fluid shutdown and turn off the instrument. A penalty charge may apply if the instrument is left on inappropriately.
