ARC Service Rates to Plan Your Research Workflow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rates will increase after July 1, 2027 to account for inflationary cost increases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Please use iLab<\/strong> for obtaining cost estimates for services requested from the ARC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
