New users must complete and submit a New User Registration Form (MS Word). Those who have not used the facility are encouraged to talk with Owen M. Schwartz, Ph.D. before preparing samples and requesting an appointment.
Scheduling
Appointments can be made by contacting Owen M. Schwartz, Ph.D. or Juraj Kabat Ph.D. by telephone, e-mail, or by coming directly to the facility to view the reservation books.
Appointments are typically made 1 week in advance. However, if special preparations are required, additional lead time might be required. If live material is to be imaged, please indicate this when making your appointment.
Appointments are typically 3 or 4 hours, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., or from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. Experienced users, who have been approved, can also book evening or weekend hours. No reservations are required to use the image processing workstations. However, if significant assistance is required for the use of software, a booking is required.
Data is typically sent directly to the user's areas on the NIAID servers at the end of each session. Backups also are made by the facility as a permanent record. If requested, data can be burned to CDs for collection the following day.
