For full\u2011service projects completed by ARC staff, staff time is added to the listed instrument usage rates. For trained users operating instruments independently, charges are based on the time reserved through the iLab instrument calendars. All rates are subject to change at any time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
