Administrative Policy

The HTS staff endeavors to achieve success with all projects and will thoroughly assess projects at each step of the screening process. As with all research, success cannot be guaranteed. Please be aware that users will be billed for all services, supplies, and equipment time regardless of assay success. A quote may be requested before beginning work on a project to estimate costs for HTS services, supplies, and equipment use as described during the intake process. Due to the variability of assays and cell conditions, please allow for 15% variance in costs from the quote. If the work should require further changes, HTS will contact the PI/users before proceeding.

In addition, users will be required to agree to adhere to all HTS policies and procedures outlined in the training sessions with regard to equipment usage and to all HTS Facility Safety Policy guidelines. Failure to follow these policies and procedures may result in charges for equipment repair and/or require additional training. Repeated failure to comply with HTS Facility Policies may result in loss of access to HTS services and equipment.
