ULS has kicked off the migration of the online booking system to University Research Facility Management System (URFMS, https://urfms.polyu.edu.hk/) since 2022. The migrated equipment list can be found in this link: https://www.polyu.edu.hk/uls/current-list-of-equipment-in-urfms/.
The next phase of migration includes the following equipment/software workstation:
- Sciex 6500+ Liquid Chromatography/Electrospray Ionization - Qtrap Mass Spectrometer
- Agilent 6460 Liquid Chromatography - Electrospray Ionisation Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
- Agilent 6540 Liquid Chromatography - Electrospray Ionisation Quadrupole-TOF Mass Spectrometer
- Sciex OS software workstation 1
- Sciex OS software workstation 2
- ABI QuantStudio 5 Real-time PCR System
- ABI QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-time PCR System
We have helped to transfer user data (Equipment access) to the new system. Current users of the above equipment/software workstation can now log in the system and prepare for the URFMS online account. Once completed simple registration procedures, online booking of the 7 equipment/software workstation can then be made immediately for any date on or after 19th June 2023 (Monday). Attached the guideline for user and supervisor, respectively.
Below are some highlights of the migration:
- New URFMS user needs to log in the system, agree the Terms and Conditions, add an emergence contact number and seek endorsement from supervisor through the system.
- Virtual ULS payment account is used for booking instead of a true research funding account, usage cost will be included in the current ULS monthly invoice. The virtual ULS payment account and invoice payment method is only applicable to the ULS system.
- Supervisor needs to approve user registration in the URFMS and agree the Terms and Conditions. Budget allocation and budget top-up is not needed.
- Supervisor can grant right to a team member to use the virtual ULS payment account.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Ryan Chow at 34008057 or hoyin.chow@polyu.edu.hk.
Thank you for your attention.
