Policy

Training

Experiments involving equipment of the BioOptics Facility should be planned and discussed ahead with the BioOptics Facility staff . Training is compulsory prior to the usage of any machine in the BioOptics Facility.
Users do not train other users!
Please make appointments with the respective staff members on time. Due to dense booking situation, it is necessary to plan well ahead and ask for introduction several days in advance.

Sign up

Most of the BioOptics equipment can be reserved online through the General Research Management System - http://grm3.imp.univie.ac.at/.
Sign-Up is on a first come, first serve basis.
Appointments that cannot be held must be cancelled as early as possible in order to free up the slots for other users. If the user does not show up within 30 minutes after the start of the booking-time, the whole reservation is considered cancelled and the equipment is available to everybody.

Data storage

All data should be stored on server space! Data stored on local hard disks can be erased at any time without notice.
