CORE partners with iLab Solutions

As part of CORE’s ongoing efforts to improve access to research equipment and facilities, we are pleased to announce that CORE has partnered with iLab Solutions, an online system used to streamline the process scheduling CORE services.

Starting in February of 2019, the iLab Core Facility Management Software platform will be implemented for the service centers currently managed by CORE.  These service centers include the Small Animal Research Facility, the Electron Microscopy Lab, and the CORE Clean Room at LASST.  As the CORE program grows at UMaine, additional research facilities will be added to the iLab platform.

To facilitate this transition to iLab, three different training sessions are planned that will cover different aspects of iLab usage, as well as a general overview of the UMaine CORE program.  If you are a current and/or potential user of a CORE service, please consider attending one or all of the iLab training sessions by signing up at the respective registration links below.
