Become a Registered UNSW RPF User
Staff and students from UNSW and affiliated institutes can become registered users of the RPF and are charged discounted rates to use equipment at the RPF. This involves being trained and guided by staff to use the equipment at the facility. We can assist you in designing your project and train you at different stages of the protein and biologics production and purification pipeline. The training services provided by RPF may range from fully assisted technical support and training, for the infrequent user, to an equipment resource for the experienced user. You will be expected to provide all consumables, buffers and columns if required and will need to also undergo a full lab induction.
To request an initial meeting with our RPF team and assess your training needs, please feel free to contact us .
Once trained and proficient, you will be able to access our online booking system and operate our equipment in complete autonomy.
Fees for UNSW Registered RPF Users
Since January 2022, the Recombinant Products Facility is now part of MWAC. A summary of the fee schedule and available instrumentation for UNSW RPF users can be seen below:
Please note that if RPF columns or RPF consumables are used, an additional charge will be levied.
Fermentation cost assumes that media and inocula is prepared by the user. The user is assumed to be trained and will be involved in set-up, monitoring/running (RPF can help with this) and sterilisation as well as post-fermentation clean-up. Additional charges may be levied to meet these costs if the user prefers to delegate some of the preparation/cleaning steps (charged at an hourly casual rate Level 4, Step 1).
