Rates for Non-Penn State University Users
At Penn State, we are dedicated to fostering and maintaining excellence in cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. To support this, we offer advanced instrumentation services. We regularly replace outdated systems or upgrade our systems with added features, components, and capabilities. This ensures that our tools are often newer and faster than other institutions. Therefore, instead of "rate" shopping, we recommend discussing your needs with our experts to understand what our capabilities can offer. Sometimes, the tool with the highest hourly rate may actually provide the best value.
