We hope that you will find the CCMR Shared Facilities to be among the best in the world, not only in instrumentation but in the professional staff expertise that is available to any researcher. The facilities are supported in part by Cornell University and by user fees (links below) for instrument usage and staff time. These fees are evaluated annually following all University, federal and OMB guidelines. Fees support ongoing maintenance and staff efforts required to keep such analytical facilities operating. The rates listed below are the current rates charged for usage of CCMR Shared Facility Instruments for academic and industry usage, respectively. Rates charged are subject to change at any time.

Service Work. The goal of the Shared Facilities is to provide analytical capabilities based on established and standardized procedures. CCMR Staff are available to help produce the highest quality data. In the case of standard service work, CCMR Staff will provide data and standard analysis of that data; Cornell staff are not allowed to provide analytical interpretation of samples. Research projects requiring sample interpretation may only be permitted through sponsored research projects. Please contact us if you would like to establish a project through Cornell’s Office of Sponsored Programs.

Facility Policies. You can access the full CCMR Shared Facilities Policy Document here. We ask that all facility researchers make proper acknowledgments for specific instrumentation in any published work. Any questions can be directed to ccmr-facilities@cornell.edu.
