How to Start a project?

To start a project at the nCounter Core Facility, the customer has first to register on the request and booking system iLab (iLabs nCounter Core Facility site) and has to request a consultation. Thereafter, a meeting will be organized with nCounter Core Facility staff (and nanoString) to assess the feasibility of the project and to discuss next steps. In general, before a project can be started for institutions that are not part of the Heidelberg Medical Faculty a contract has to be set up, which is processed by the legal department of the Heidelberg University Hospital. 
All further steps will be handled via the iLabs platform.
