From 1 July 2013 these fees will increase by an inflationary amount. DCI labs are to receive a discount in recognition of the CCSG contribution.
These fees apply however you use the system (ie if you have booked the system you pay the fee even if you are just moving data, checking your cells etc).
Billing: Bills for use of the microscopes are sent out monthly. A pdf of the logged hours is sent to each lab. Please email Gao to change fundcode or for any other billing matter.
