Hi Irene<BR>
<BR>
Our charges are in the public domain, at www.nottingham.ac.uk/ncmh/business<BR>
<BR>
A basic equilibrium run, 2 mm column, should be completed in 1 day, not 2, in most cases (something with a very low diffusion coefficient will take longer than 1 day - although you can compensate by using a shorter column, with loss of a bit of precision).<BR>
<BR>
For a basic SE run, we charge (GBP)<BR>
<BR>
UK Res Council academic Charity Others<BR>
350 435 610<BR>
<BR>
for a 2-day run, this becomes<BR>
600 750 1000<BR>
<BR>
Believe me, no-one is making much or even any money at these rates, <U>especially</U> the 'academic' runs ! They are in fact an extremely cheap way of getting sophisticated work done - I mean just try costing for acquiring the kit <U>and</U> the human resource expertise involved.<BR>
<BR>
All best wishes for your researches<BR>

Hi All<BR>
<BR>
I know this may seem like a cheeky question....<BR>
I work in a University Facility which houses numerous Molecular Interactions instruments. We are required to be <BR>
self funding and therefore have to charge our users. Most of the instruments have a charge of 10-20GBP per hour <BR>
which is fine, but if I'm doing an equilibrium run for someone which could take 2 days or more to run,1000GBP <BR>
seems an excessive amount.<BR>
<BR>
Would anyone in a similar situation be willing to divilge their charges to me for a comparison?<BR>
<BR>
Many Thanks<BR>
<BR>
Irene<BR>
