By George Washington University - Nanofabrication and Imaging Center (GWNIC)
GWNIC uses a core facility management software, iLab, to schedule and track use of instrumentation as well as to automate billing with the university's financial system (EAS). The system also allows GWNIC users to make reservations for instrumentation training. iLab tracks the use of equipment in real time and prioritizes usage to provide full transparency in how the Center’s resources are being utilized. Instrumentation usage is tracked against specific projects and associated funding sources. GWNIC requires all users and principal investigators to be registered within iLab.
