Instrument Reservations

Please leave a minimum of 30 minutes gap between instrument reservations and follow all safety guidelines when using our facilities.

Reserving Instrument Time

Appointments for instrument use are available to all users on a first-come, first-served basis. Assisted instrument usage is offered during regular office hours; unassisted users can have access to the equipment also at night and on weekends. All instrument reservations are handled through the iLab portal at https://uthealth.corefacilities.org. First time customers and people without iLab access please send reservation requests to the Facility Manager by email detailing your planned experiments.
