On July 1, 2025, the Marine Science Research Facility (MSRF) updates its fees within its structure as a URI service center. After this date, use of some instruments in the MSRF-Analytical collection and space fees in the MSRF-Shared Seawater Facility will be subject to the new fees. The listings for space, instruments, and their associated fees are subject to change.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n MSRF-Shared Seawater Facility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n MSRF-Analytical Instruments<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n (1) MSRF does not furnish the sensor dots for this device. Shipboard rental available for PreSens O2 Sensor, at $200\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (2) Shipboard rental available for FlowCam, at $800 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (3) When dilutions are necessary, the basic rate will be increased to $30, unless the user does the dilution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (4) Shipboard rental available for Satlantic FIRe Fluorometer, at $150\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (5) Shipboard rental available for microscopes, at $150 (i) and $150 (ii) per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (6) Yearly fee is based on cost for supplies and technician time for calibrations. The individual usage fee will be based on a percentage of overall usage over the fiscal year. The Turner fluorometer is available for shipboard rental. While the instrument is at sea, user units will be logged at a rate of 8 users\/day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The URI overhead rate of 57.5% is applied to the above fees for non-University users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fee structure On July 1, 2025, the Marine Science Research Facility (MSRF) updates its fees within its structure as a URI service center.
