- Appointments can be booked no less than 24 hours in advance.
- Cell sorting appointments are a minimum of one hour and a maximum of seven hours in length and must include a minimum of 30 minutes of set-up time plus 30 minutes of cleaning. Sorts requiring special set-up conditions may require longer minimum booking times. This can be arranged at the discretion of the operator.

This means if the user arrives 30 mins late for an appointment, they will be charged for the 30 mins on top of the actual sort/analysis time used. Users may be permitted to exceed their scheduled appointment time if the instrument has not been booked by someone else and will be charged the normal rate for the extra time used

In order to allow other users an opportunity to book a time slot for cell sorting, users who wish to cancel their appointments should send an email to inform the operator.Users who do not show up for their appointments without contacting the facility to cancel will be billed for their appointments.
