Getting Started with iLab

iLab Solutions Software Implemented at UT Health San Antonio Cores

The iLab software provides a unified interface for core facility request management, equipment reservations, project tracking, billing and invoicing, and reporting.

Features and benefits of the new system include:

  • Researchers and PIs can monitor job status and billing information
  • Tools for direct communication and document sharing with the core
  • Improved financial controls
  • Streamlined reporting and increased transparency into core usage
  • Improved awareness of available services across the UT System
  • Departmental administrators can pull financial statements directly from the system.

This project was initiated by the Texas Regional CTSA Consortium (TRCC) and is funded by UT System to help organize a UT System-wide core facilities network. Implementing this software is expected to improve investigators’ access to shared resources at UT Health San Antonio and other health science institutions participating in the UT network.
