Lab/User Registration, Annual Fees and Screen Rentals


Registration is available to ECU faculty only, and is valid for all members of the faculty member's lab.

Because of the support of the NCBC and DRG grants, user fees for PhIFI will be kept to a minimum. An annual Lab User Fee of $300.00 will be collected from the PI's ECU account upon registration. This fee covers PhIFI use by ALL registered members of a User lab for one complete year.  Each lab may register up to 10 members. User accounts/rental fees are managed by Mrs. Katrina Searcey in the Division of Research and Graduate Studies.  Funds from this account will to pay for the annual service contract and materials and upkeep for the facility. Questions about Registration Fees or Account Transfers should be directed to Mrs. Katrina Searcey (744 2808).

There are also 8 new Phosphorimage screens (8” x 10”, $1218 value from Amersham) that may be rented (1 per lab) for $300.00 per year. The new screens are thin plastic-backed to fit into standard film cassettes. Older metal-backed screens may not be used on the Typhoon 9410 as they may scratch the expensive glass platten.

To register, please download the PDF Registration Form with instructions, and print the form.  After completing the Registration Form, please forward via campus mail to:
