Reserve Equipment
MSERF equipment can be reserved for use directly by certified equipment users, or with the assistance of a technician for those who aren't certified.
- The minimum time for a reservation is one hour, with additional half hour increments following. For internal certified users, 24-hour advance scheduling is recommended.
- For reservations requiring technical assistance, 72-hour advance notice is strongly recommended.
Reservations can be made by contacting Michael Walt at michael.walt@unf.edu to schedule time on an instrument.
All instrument time at MSERF is billed according to a published fee schedule. All users are billed for the time the instruments are used beyond the reserved time. As a courtesy, users are encouraged to end their operation five minutes prior to the start of the next reservation.
If work is being performed on multiple projects (i.e., projects with different billing codes), a separate reservation must be made for each project. MSERF will not itemize invoices across different projects after the instrument time has been logged.
Anyone using the instruments without a reservation will forfeit access to the center and must work with (and pay for) technician assistance for six months. See the Policies and Procedures page for all MSERF policies.
