FAQ for Working with the RSS Units

Information for External Customers

Fee for Service is for external customers who have a few samples or one time use of the RSS unit.

External customers who want to be trained or have a large/long project need to have a Testing Services Agreement in place. We have two templates that the customer can pick from.  Email Dr. Massani, Director of RSS for more information on this process.

The RSS scientific units (EPR, Keck, LESSA, NMR, MSC, and XRay) all use iLab for calendaring and billing of services.  As an external customer you will need to sign up for an iLab account.  Importantly during this process you will need to know the contact information for the Financial Contact for your organization.

Step-by-Step Instructions to Sign Up for iLab

If you need your invoices to go to an email different than their your own you can manage this in your iLab Profile Page under the Billing/Shipping Information tab. 

The RSS shops use a internal workflow software called ZoHo for project tracking and invoice creation.  When you contact the unit manager with your project you will need to provide:

  • Company Name
  • Requester Name
  • Requester Phone Number
  • Requester Email
  • Company Address
  • Billing or Financial Contact Name
  • Billing or Financial Contact Email
  • Billing or Financial Contact Phone Number

For external users only, an Administrative Service Charge will be added to the final invoice per the university financial policies https://policy.fso.arizona.edu/fsm/600/617

All payments are due 30 days after the invoice date.
