Equipment Use

We have recently transitioned our core management from FACES to iLab by Agilent. This software system will allow us to streamline our scheduling and accounting for all of the university cores, including the CLIF. Information regarding this new system may be found in the video(s) below. 

All users must register with iLab to be trained and/or gain access to the new equipment schedule. Lab PI’s must verify and assign active funds to their students in order for equipment reservations to be made. Legacy Users have had their training records rolled over from FACES. New facility users must fill out a training request and sign the updated rules. General consultation requests can be made via iLab for inquiries and new projects. 

PI Registration and Project ID Assignment information can be found here:

Laboratory consumables and reagents can be purchased on an individual basis using the service request within iLab.
