New users should register with the facility's director Dr. Rachel Rosen.

This registration process includes:

The preliminary stage of registration is obligatory.

2. Reserving devices

• Reserving each of the devices in the facility should be made in advance, using the on-line reservation system.
• Users must fill in all fields and describe in detail the contents of the samples (e.g. samples containing risk factors such as pathogenic or radioactive substances).
