[FILM-Users 01194] FILM: Adjustment in Charging Rates Effective March 1
by Nechyporuk-Zloy, Volodymyr 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

Dear Colleagues, As you are aware, FILM operates under a full recovery cost model, which requires us to recover our operational expenses, including service costs, salaries, and other associated expenditures. Since 2019, FILM has maintained frozen charging rates<https://www.imperial.ac.uk/medicine/facility-for-imaging-by-light-microscop…> to support our users during this period. However, over the past few years, inflation<https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/inflation/inflation-calcula…> has risen by approximately 26%, significantly impacting our operational costs. To ensure the sustainability of our services and to compensate for these increased expenses, we will be adjusting our charging rates effective March 1, 2025. The updated rates will be as follows: - Confocal usage: £44/hour - Epi system: £30/hour - Software packages and Image Analysis workstations (e.g., Imaris): £10/hour These rates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted in the future to align with our business model and operational needs. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support as we strive to maintain the quality and reliability of our services. Should you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your cooperation.
