Detailed information for setting up an account and placing an order:
To set up a user account: click on the red “Account Setup” button at the top of the overview page. This will take you to links with a form to fill out. There will be different forms if you are an on-campus user or an off-campus user. When you fill out the form completely, the last line on the page that says “(complete form to submit)” will turn from red to green and then you will be able to submit it (This includes filling out the Acknowledge Legal Responsibility part near the bottom of the form).
Once you submit a work authorization form, your PI will get an email message with a hyperlink used to approve or deny the work authorization. The link expires after 72 hours. If the authorization is not approved or denied within 72 hours, a new link will need to be created. After approval, the Cores administration will process the authorization and send you an email with username and password information.
To place an order, log in under the HSC Resources Login tab at the top of the cores website. Once you have logged in, you will see a page with several different University of Utah Services. The MCL is found in blue near the center of the page, called “Materials Characterization.” Upon selecting the MCL, you can schedule the needed equipment (on the left side of the page) or view recent news regarding the instrumentation (on the right side of the page). Please contact us if you have any questions or if you have not been trained on the machine you need.
