Notes:

  1. Rates are subject to change
  2. If you are a for-profit entity using a federal grant or contract to pay for your lab fees you qualify for the off-campus academic rates. Off-campus users who spend >$30k per fiscal year (July 1-June 30) will qualify for the off-campus academic rate for the amount spent over the $30k.
  3. Overnight rates are to be scheduled Monday-Friday 5:00pm-8:00am and all day Saturday-Sunday
  4. Nanoindenter – for use of the special xsol heating stage, it is strongly encouraged to have staff use the probe for this stage. If users want to be trained on the use of the xsol heating stage, the user’s PI (or supervisor) would be responsible for replacing the probe if it is damaged during use. The cost is $1,935. Please contact Nanofab staff for more details. This does not apply to normal, ambient use of the nanoindenter.
  5. The Potentiostat-Gamry 600 reference+ can be checked-out for $25 per day with a 5-day minimum.
  6. Exper. In-situ TEM: This is a daily (per experiment) use fee (not hourly) with fees listed paying for up to 10 hours of instrument time. This special use case must be coordinated with the lab manager in advance.
