Reservations Policies for BCCHR ACMaN Facility

• First-time users seeking training must complete the full training process. Only trained users who have submitted their onboarding form and training record for an equipment may use the equipment independently.
• The BCCHR ACMaN Core maintains policies to discourage overbooking and maintain equitable access to equipment for all users (applies to the Varioskan Lux only).
  • Please book the time you anticipate needing. Charges are based on the greater of booked time or actual usage time.
  • Bookings cancelled within 24 h of the scheduled start time (“late cancellations”), or bookings for which no CAR sign-in is detected during the reserved time window (“no shows”), will be billed 50% of the booked time.
  • Users with repeated late cancellations or no shows may receive a warning. Continued occurrences may be reported to the PI.
• For the Varioskan, users are responsible for ensuring their bookings and CAR sign-in/sign-out records are accurate. If a login is detected without a corresponding logout for more than 6 hours and no associated booking exists, a 6-hour charge will automatically be applied because the actual duration of equipment use cannot be verified.
• Users are responsible for leaving instruments clean and safe after use. Repeated non-compliance may result in warnings, escalation to PIs and may incur charges.
