Assay Requests for the Robotics Facility
Researchers
interested in utilizing facility resources for their
assay should contact the S.M.A.R.T. Facility Manager. The
Facility Manager will discuss the assay request with the
user and advises researchers on the ability of the
system to handle their request. The Manager will also
develop estimates of time requirements and feasible
batch sizes for all requests and acts as a resource
person to facilitate transfer of bench top SOPs to the
robotic platform.
Requests that conform to the facility guidelines will be
further considered by the Robotics Facility Use
Committee. The Committee functions to confirm the
suitability of project requests and to establish project
priorities and time lines for the Robotics Facility.
The Cost of Using the Facility
Scientists at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute (SLRI) are leaders in the development
of high throughput projects, The S.M.A.R.T. Robotics Facility
incurs operating costs (repairs, capital replacements
etc.) which are borne by users of the Facility. Academic
researchers within the Institute are charged only for
the purpose of recovering costs of operating the robotic
system (contact the Manager for details). These funds
also allow for equipment upgrade and continued
improvements to the technology available at the Robotics
Facility. The costs of consumables will be born by the
individual users of the Facility. The Manager will
advise users as to the supplies which they must provide
for their work in the Facility.
