IFAB Microfabrication Fees & Reservation Calendars
IFAB Monthly Entrance Fees
IFAB operates with a combination of a base monthly user Entrance-Fee along with hourly equipment rates on select equipment. IFAB currently offers a single Full Facility Entrance Fee that allows users access to both Microfabrication and BioManufacturing. IFAB also offers a BioManufacturing ONLY Entrance-Fee. Users must recieve a Microfabrication Facility & Safety tour before they can access the Microfabrication equipment-stations, and receive a BioManufacturing Facility & Safety tour before accessing BioManufacturing equipment-stations. The Microfabrication Entrance Fee = $950/mo (we will soon be moving two two tiers of reduced monthly Microfabrication Entrance Fees along with a $/hr Equipment Fee).
→ All users must enter a Funding Account number (PTAO) in the IFAB Monthly Entrance Fee system every month they plan to use IFAB (external users should enter their name an institution)
