PLEASE NOTE:

Training is required before ANY use of the equipment in the CLCI. To request new user training or your first consultation, please follow the user registration link, fill out the form and submit it. You may include your specific training or consultation needs in the "Comment" box. You will be contacted by CLCI administrators within 2-4 business days regarding the next available training session (typically held once per week) or to arrange your consultation.

Consultations and equipment/software training are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Walk-ins are solely at the discretion of the CLCI staff and their fickle moods. You may also contact the CLCI staff via email or telephone (see Contact Us).

The CLCI was primarily created to serve the members of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. However, some funding for the project and the equipment has been provided by the UM Medical School Endowment for Basic Sciences, and thus is open to the greater Medical School community. All work in the CLCI is subject to our recharge rates.
