Registration and Use of the Rockefeller University High-Throughput Screening Resource Center (HTSRC)
Account Creation
Go to the online booking system "PPMS" at https://ppms.rockefeller.edu/login/?pf=4. Choose Account Creation Request and fill in the appropriate information. Please be sure to include contact information for sending the invoices/charges, and the correct PTAEO.
Service/Collaboration Agreement
For users who are not employed or sponsored by The Rockefeller University, a collaboration agreement will be neededbefore an account will be approved. This should be signed by the principal investigator and the institutional signatory (someone who legally represents the University usually in the Technical Transfer Dept). This will need to be returned before utilization of the center.
Training/Project Initiation
Once the account has been approved, please log in and agree to our center's guidelines and fill out a request (Training or Project).
- Training requests are for those users who would like to learn how to use a specific analytical instrument and already know how to design the experiments.
- Project requests are for those users who require scientific and/or technical guidance in developing an assay, designing experiments, measuring a pathway or interaction or performing a screening project. Fill-out the questionnaire about what the nature of the project is and/or what training is required. Usually within 2 days, somebody from the center will contact the user via email to schedule training on the instrument and/or discuss the project and what training will be needed. After training is completed, the user will be authorized to book instrument time online, work independently using the HTSRC facilities, schedule time for guidance and support and obtain the screening libraries.
Fees
Inquiries should be addressed to the director of the HTSRC.
