ALERT

ATTENTION ⚠️

In observance of the holidays, Agilent CrossLab/iLab Operations Software Support Help Desk will be closed during U.S. hours on Monday, January 20th, 2025. We will resume regular U.S. support hours on Tuesday, January 21st, 2025. For urgent matters, please add "Urgent" to the ticket/email subject or press "1" when prompted to escalate a call on the iLab Support phone, and we will prioritize those requests first.

Welcome to the Brown University Core Facility Portal!

This portal uses Agilent iLab Operations Software that allows for web-based shared resource scheduling, instrument access control, billing, reporting, and more. The use of the iLab Operations Software is currently being piloted only for the Leduc Bioimaging Core Facility and was made possible through a collaboration between the Division of Biology and Medicine Research Operations and the Computing & Information Services group.

Please use the Brown University Core Facilities tab at the top of this section to access the Leduc Bioimaging Core Facility iLab site and links to other non-iLabs core facility websites.

Please note

For researchers to be able to use the scheduling functions for bioimaging instruments, the lab’s PI must be a registered iLabs user

For researchers to be able to login to use the instrumentation within the Bioimaging Core, they must have their billing account number

For Brown researchers this billing account number is generally

a grant number (for example GR5XXXXXX) or

a cost center account (for example CCXXXXX.PRG100.AXXXXXX)

For Hospital-based researchers, the lab PI’s name is generally adequate for billing purposes

Please come prepared with your appropriate account number when arriving to use the Leduc Bioimaging Core!
