Research Cores

Our Core Facilities provide access to highly specialized services such as instruments, technologies, and scientific consultation. Delivered by experienced staff with expertise in designing, conducting experiments and analyzing data to meet the needs of our research community and fulfill our research mission.


iLab Access

iLab Operations Software

UTSA uses the iLab Operations Software (iLab) to manage instrumentation bookings, service requests, and billing. This software provides a unified interface for our research community to use scientific resources offered by our institutional Research Core Facilities. Through the iLab interface, PIs and their Researchers can request/manage equipment reservations and service requests, track work of existing projects, handle billing and invoices, and report financials for usage within or across our listed core facilities.

If there are general questions about iLab, please contact iLab@utsa.edu
