All UCSF and affiliated laboratories pay the same rates as listed below. As UCSF subsidizes facilities maintenance, external academic researchers must pay an additional 26% overhead charge. Some instruments, pending available use patterns, may also be used by external, commercial researchers at rates contracted through the UCSF Technology Transfer Office. Please contact us for Inquiries.
