Other costs and benefits
Free trial period
The PIF offers prospective users (or current users with substantially new projects) a free, one-hour imaging session in order to assess how well our equipment can image your sample. Please schedule a time with the facility manager to take advantage of this opportunity.
Training fee
A one-time flat training fee is charged for training on any of the microscopes or imagers in the core facility. (Up to two members from the same lab can participate in the same training session at no extra cost.)
Animal housing fee
The Hansen facility is now capable to house some animal cages, specifically for longitudinal studies conducted in the PIF. Small number of radioactive animals will be housed in the Hansen imaging area until they are cooled. All other imaging animals should be returned to LSA 144. Standard housing rates can be found here. Please contact Sylvia Schlegel (sschlege@purdue.edu or (765) 494-2120) for animal housing reservation needs.
Labor rate
Labor is charged at $75.00/hr (internal), $54.00/hr (PCPB) and $115.00/hr (external) if facility staff are hired to perform experimental design, data acquisition or data analysis.
