Hiring costs vary across equipment and services. Please contact core staff listed at the bottom of each webpage for additional cost information.

For internal users

In iLab, at the time of booking equipment or submitting a service request, you will be required to select a valid project code.

Booked equipment will be charged to that project code for the period of the booking irrespective of whether you used the equipment.

Equipment bookings can be cancelled online, and any queued clients will be notified of cancellations, so they may take up the vacated booking.  

For external users

External users must register in iLab using the iLab credentials and get a quote from our technical team for the job request. You must also provide us with a purchase order number. For more details, get in touch with Sunita Bajaj.
