core to easily identify and resolve issues and bill for usage. A major concern for cores is having the ability to equitably distribute valuable resources and equipment time among users but still maximise usage. iLab makes this possible with a ‘rolling approach’ to restrictions, which limits usage per equipment. Finally, the system has improved the usage tracking through an online login kiosk combined with a new equipment lock- out module. Te online kiosk communicates directly with the calendar to define when and by whom instruments can be used. Te interlock feature controls access to the equipment by turning on and off a monitor or the equipment itself, locking out those who should not have access. Te system continues to expand the features of


the scheduling module with future developments including setting parameters around daily equipment usage, enhanced user management tools, and more granular usage reports.

resource research laboratories. It provides the foundation in core facility management, including service request management, equipment scheduling, billing, invoicing, and reporting. It offers specialised modules, such as sample management tracking, animal management and product purchasing. And it integrates with other systems, such as financial and user directory systems, providing a single platform used by all facilities within an institution. When faced with the growing problem of securing scarce research funding while accelerating advancements in research, an efficient and versatile electronic system is a major game changer for research institutions as they foster collaboration through shared-use.
