How to use iLab

iLab is an electronic charge-back system used by the Research Histology Core Laboratory (RHCL).  With this system, RHCL customers can place both research and archival block requests. The iLab system gives researchers unprecedented access to their orders. Through iLab, requesters can: place orders, communicate with the RHCL team, view the status of their orders and track their spending. To have access to iLab, the requester will need to know three main things:

• How to get registered to use the system
• The core facility or lab at which a service request will be made
• The Chart Field String that will be used for payment

Access the user guide above to get a detailed summary of iLab and how to use it.

We also offer in lab training for our customers to further understand iLab and how to use it. To schedule training please contact the RHCL at 713-792-3119.
