The use of the facility is determined on a first come/first served basis, but our Gnotobiotic Committee, comprised of Rachel Gottschalk, Tim Hand, Reinhard Hinterleitner, Marlies Meisel and Barbara Methé, reserves the right to limit the size and scope of experiments to allow for multiple users. This assessment is based on the need for scientific space, the ability of the facility to fill the order, as well as scientific interest. Once we have scheduled your experiment we then charge for the use of the isolators on a weekly basis.
