scientific apparatus

Conditions of use: All samples must be filtered through 35-40um mesh filters immediately before sorting to help prevent blockages. Researchers will be charged for the time taken to clear blockages, and subject to subsequent bookings, the availability of your sorting time may be reduced.

Minimum booking is 1 hour, after which users will be charged in 30-minute increments. Users will be charged based on the time booked or time used, whichever is longer. The manager reserves the right to alter online bookings post-sort to reflect the time used (if longer than that booked).

The facility manager reserves the right to change booking times dependent on the machine’s availability, but will give researchers as much notice as possible.
