Queue
sdsd Heading link
Instrumentation and services are available to all researchers inside and outside of the university.
Researchers from the Northwestern University and the University of Chicago are provided internal rates as all UIC users. All other users can access services but at an external academic or external non-academic rate, which is determined using subsidy and market rates.
All users are responsible for their own laboratory safety training to be current during each use of the core facilities.

Master queue: The queue of all the requests in the core. Requests won’t enter the queue until the core receives the samples.
Cachet queue: The queue of the requests from Cachet members.
Queue time: Time from the reception of the samples to the start of the sample process. NOT Turnaround Time. Ready-to-go samples may skip the queue if fragmented time is available. The time is estimated and subjected to change due to instrument status, personnel’s time-off or other reasons.
Total request: The numbers of the requests that are waiting in the queue.
Current request: The requests are currently in process.
Next request: The requests will be processed next.
