We are pleased to announce that the VSC Website has been revised and given a new look that makes it more user-friendly and consistent with the design of University and SoM webpages. Some of the major changes are listed below. Please take a look at your convenience and become familiar with the improvements and ease of navigation.
Website Changes:
- Policies/Regulations are now under “About Us”

- Guide to Rodent Services under “About Us”
- Facility Access and Orientation moved under “About Us”

Irradiator:
The VSC now uses iLabs to manage CMP and RAF irradiator usage. If you have previously had access to the CMP and RAF Irradiators with the old web based scheduling system, you will need to create a new account on iLabs to continue using the irradiator in our CMP and RAF facilities here: https://stanford.ilabsolutions.com/sc/101/vsc-equipment-and-technical-services/?tab=about
Users who do not re-register for access by August 15th will have their Irradiator key room access revoked. Please contact Claire Pham (clairepham@stanford.edu) if you have any questions with signing up onto our iLabs core.
