Sample Submission (internal):

To submit a sample, you will begin on iLabs as you typically do
Once you have submitted, BMC staff will approve your submission. If you do not hear from us within a few hours, please email biomicro@mit.edu to make sure we see the message.
After we have reviewed your project, you will be free to bring the samples into the Center. If it is after hours or no one is on site, there is a sample drop off location immediately inside the BMC. You will need after-hours access to access the small freezer.
If you do not have access to 68 during open hours M-F 9am-5pm, please call the facility when you are outside the building by the single access point (617.715.4533). A staff member will come downstairs to retrieve your sample. You will not be permitted to enter the building.

All walk-up equipment has been relocated to the first bay and entry of 68-322.
Please reserve your equipment 12h in advance on ilabs
Consumables are available by emailing biomicro@mit.edu. If you email us, we will place them in the freezer inside the facility.
Training by your labmates continues to not be permitted due to on-going challenges with instrument repair.
Please email biomicro@mit.edu if you would like after-hours access to the facility.

NO access to the BioMicro Center is available for non-MIT users.
Assisted services are available to non-MIT users through either delivery of samples by Fedex or sample hand-off outside of Building 68.
