To everyone who so graciously answered my call for prices
for services in Confocal Microscopy and Flow Cytometry
Shared Use Facilities across the country - my THANKS!! I
have received many replys and got a good idea of prices
around the country, as well as Canada and Australia - I am
putting them together in a table form and sending them to
all on the net. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to
assemble everything - but other things have taken priority.
Also, it is difficult to compare 1 to another without
considering levels of support so I have been experimenting
with the best format with which to put together some sort of
documentation. I hope the following accomplishes that! I
have used the following designations and included the
following information:

1) In which region the institution is located
"West, East, South, Midwest" in US,
International

2) If there is support for the facility other than rates
alone. (Subsidized) SUB

3) Name of the institution (I believe all are non-profit)

4) Special Arrangements are footnoted after the regional
section SP ARR
for example some have bulk rates, training rates etc.

5) THe appropriate charges for types of services offered
Confocal Microscopy CM
Video Imaging VI
Flow Cytometry FCM
and all with or without operator W/Op
