Info related to the booking of instuments at BiSS

Link to Booking System

All new users must be approved in order to book instruments through the booking system.

First time users must receive a training on each instrument, and the training session needs to be booked well in advance and in dialog with the admin responsible for the instrument.

The booking system is shared between the core facilities BiSS, MIC, PROBE and Flow Cytometry, so users only have to register once.

All new users have to be approved by their PI before being able to book instruments, and the PI must assign an invoicing account to the user. If new users don't find their affiliated lab and PI in the booking system, the PI has to register his lab before the user can finalize the registration.

Booking page user guides for PIs and other users and a guide for the daily use of the booking system can be found in the attachments at the bottom of this page.
