All of the above billing rates are reduced to one-half after a researcher uses 25 hours per instrument per quarter (3-month period, starting in March 2016). For example, the Tecnai F30 rate for a researcher will be $80/hr for the first 25 hours, $40/hr for all additional hours in that quarter.

Operation of the instruments by staff members of the Center is billable at $100/hr, in addition to the hourly instrument charge.
