Calendar bookings must be deleted by the user 24 hours prior to the time reserved in order to avoid billing charges. Booking time cannot be altered or deleted and is non-refundable nor creditable if this time window is not met. The Cell Imaging Core is not liable if a user no longer needs their booking, if a user’s samples do not work, if a user cannot make their booking, etc. However, if an instrument is down, is offline, or is under maintenance all fees will be voided for that duration.

Users with overages or caught with unregistered time can be charged the commercial rate of $100/h.

To Set Up a User Account:

Account SetupBooking Calendar:

1. Fill out and submit a Work Authorization form.  Work Authorization Form.
   • If you need help navigating the form, a ‘How to’ guide is available under the drop down menu labeled ‘Work Auth Forms
   • For additional questions please contact the administrative office at billing@cores.utah.edu
2. After your authorization is approved, contact us at our email support.cellimaging@cores.utah.edu
3. Training and an initial project consultation is required and helps us ensure you receive the best images possible that your samples produce.
   • Through our email contact we an give you suggestions on which of our staff bests fits your experiment and goals for training and assistance
   • additional training information is located under the ‘Training Tab’.
4. Booking on the calendar website
   • Login using your unid (ex. uxxxxxx) and cis password.
   • After logging in, the Cell Imaging Core calendar is located under ‘Resources’ and ‘Cell Imaging’
   • Each Staff member and microscope has a calendar that shows availability that you may book time for your use. Our HSC, HCI and Crocker locations are staffed from 9am-1pm Monday through Friday. Reservations for training and consulations at a specific location (e.g. Morning HCI consolation/training will be with whomever is staffed at that location). If you want an appointment with a specific staff member, choose appointments in the afternoon and the location just like before. For any questions regarding our new calendar system please email us at support.cellimaging@cores.utah.edu.
   • After booking staff member’s time, check the drop down option next to ‘Process’ to add location. Under ‘Data Fields’ and ‘Label add a description of intended use and experiment type.
5. Microscope
   • First Step: Book time slot with suggested staff for a one-hour mandatory start up project consultation. There you will review goals and plan.
   • Second Step: Book time with both the staff member and suggested microscope simultaneously for initial hardware and software training.
   • Third step: *Optional* After initial training it is suggested to book time with staff for first imaging session.
6. Building access granted after full training is complete
   • HCI
     • Computer and building access forms will be provided
     • Submit forms per our instructions
   • HSC and CSC
     • You must then go in person with your UID card to our Administrative Office to gain card access to the building and rooms to which you have been granted permissions. To get to our Administrative Office (SOM 5C124), you must go to elevator C in the School of Medicine, go to floor 5, turn immediately right around the corner, and the office is down the hall on the left side.
   • SMBB
     • We will send your information to the SMBB building office.

If you have any more questions concerning this process please contact us at support.cellimaging@cores.utah.edu.

There are two tracks of training offered by the Cell Imaging Core

1. Short time users: Patrons that plan on 20 hours or less of usage per year.
   1. Assisted Imaging
      1. Staff will image your samples exclusively with you. Your presence is required for an assessment consultation of your sample quality and image goals.
      2. Signature of a release form is required to insure the quality of samples and the resulting images.
      3. Acknowledgement in publications for the University of Utah Cell Imaging is a requirement for this type of extensive assistance.

2. Long time users: Patrons that prefer in depth training for skill development with the goal of imaging yourself and to obtain rigorous understanding of software.
   1. Advanced training series
      1. Project consultation and basic training
      2. Advanced training for special software implementation (FRET, FRAP, live cell imaging, stitching, time lapse, ect.. )
