Editing BioMicroCenter:FAQ (section)

== ILABS ==
The BioMicro Center uses [https://mit.ilabsolutions.com/sc/3381/ki-genomics-core-mit-biomicro-center/?tab=about ilabs] for all internal submissions and for scheduling. All users must use ilabs IF:
* They are from MIT (including Whitehead Institute or Broad Institute with MIT appointments)
* They are using an MIT cost object to pay for the services
Users not from MIT should never use ilabs for submission to the BioMicro Center <BR>
Users from labs new to MIT may have a brief grace period to not use ilabs while their labs are set up <BR> 
Users paying with POs may either use paper forms or ilabs but MUST bring the PO number with submission. We will use ilabs to import the project into our LIMS and close the project on ilabs without billing it.

=== APPROVAL ===
'''IMPORTANT''': The BioMicro Center prioritizes timely delivery of genomic data. As such, WE DO NOT HOLD PROJECTS WAITING FOR FINANCIAL APPROVAL!. If a project is not '''rejected''' by the submitting lab in a timely manner, we will proceed with the project and recharge normally.

=== COST OBJECTS ===
The BioMicro Center does not control which cost objects are available to you for your project. If no cost object is available, you will NOT be able to submit via ilabs. Cost objects are assigned to you in ilabs by your PI or a designated administrator. Having permission to spend on a cost object through MIT is NOT automatically passed to ilabs and ilabs must be set up separately.
