Scheduling FACS analysis

  1. New users should contact Ewa Menet to be able to book their times through www.schedulebook.com. The following information is needed and should be provided on the NEW USER SIGN-IN SHEET (available in room S631), or by e-mailing ewa.menet@yale.edu:

    2. Principal Investigator's Name, User's Full name and e-mail address,
    PTAEO (number for charging purposes) with expiration date,
    User ID and Password of your choice (up to 15 characters, case sensitive)
    The same password will be used to log in to FACStations.

  2. To access the FACS room on evenings/weekends a key needs to be ordered (one per lab). Please contact Yale Immunobiology Business Office at 785-5211.
  3. Users who do not arrive within 30 minutes of their start time forfeit that time. Anyone may use the cytometers after this 30-minute grace period and may not be asked to leave.
  4. A single person cannot sign up for more than 8 hours per week of "prime time" on either of the machines (i.e. no more than 8 hours combined). Prime time is Monday-Friday 12N-8PM. An unlimited amount of time may be reserved out of "prime time".
    No more than 4 hours of "prime time" can be reserved in any single block. If more than 4 hours of time is needed, individuals should sign up so as to start before "prime time" or end after it, or use the weekend time.
  5. Users will now be charged for the greater of time scheduled or actual time used on the FACS machines.
  6. Individuals who do not show up for a scheduled time will be charged triple for missed scheduled time. If you are not going to be able to make a scheduled time you must delete the event from Schedulebook by 11:00 am of the day of scheduled event.
  7. Also contact Geoff if your experiment requires more than the allotted four hours of prime time per day for special permission.
