X-Ray Facility User Fees
From September 2009
After providing the services free of charge since its
inception (1994), XRF Director has been asked to come up
with ideas to defray at least part of the cost of running
the Facility. This proposal (implemented in August 2009) is
to address the issue and recoup only the consumable
expenses. The rates will be adjusted annually or as needed
to reflect the actual cost of consumables and other
expenses. To encourage new users and expand the user base,
exploratory use will still remain free of charge.
The usage fee structures are shown below both for
home-source and synchrotron-source usages. There two
separate categories for home-use: screening
(work-days) and data collection
(full-days). The charges for the home-usage will
be based on these two categories and will be billed by the
hour. The bills will be sent out monthly. The synchrotron
fees will be billed per use and will also be sent out
monthly to the PI.
Home-source Usage Fee Structure
- Full-day (24h+): $2.50/h (FSU) |
$10.00/h (Non-FSU)
- Work-day (8-10h): $4.00/h (FSU) | $16.00/h
(Non-FSU)
Synchrotron-source Usage Fee Structure
- Mail-in crystallography: $250.00/mail-in
- In-person/remote data collection: $2000.00/day
