The BPF is open to any Harvard Medical School or Harvard Affiliated Laboratory. If you are from another school, hospital, or
non-profit outside of Harvard University you may also use our facility without restrictions. If you are from a biotechnology company or other
for-profit venture you may use our facility but certain restrictions may apply. Please contact our facility director for further details.
All of our billing is done using a monthly invoice system. Your statements will be available online in PDF format and in
print, mailed directly to your office. PIs and Billing Admins can view and pay invoices online. Other lab members may be given permission to view
invoices if the PI so wishes but normally will not be able to do so. Purchase orders are not required by the Biopolymers Facility with the exception
of Affymetrix Gene Chip services. If your organization requires a PO to appear on every invoice we have accommodations to maintain standing PO's and
print them on your monthly invoice. For every service or product ordered by your lab members we keep an electronic record and compile the sum total of
all charges in a monthly invoice. Each Invoice includes an itemization by lab member and individual service sample or item. Bills may be paid by check
or 33 digit billing code. At this time we do not except credit card payments. For more specific questions please contact our facility director, Robert Steen.
Each member of your lab will have her/his own login account with the BPF that is associated with a Primary Investigator. Every
order that is placed under a particular user ID is tracked and will be billed to your account at the end of each month. New accounts must go through
an approval process to assure they are legitimate members of your lab before the individual accounts can be activated. If a PI account does not
currently exist an email will automatically be generated and sent to the individual requesting a new account. This email will detail all the needed
information to open a PI account to which the appropriate users will be linked.
Pricing for each service is listed in our technologies section. All reagents and supplies
offered by third party vendors through our stock room program have prices listed in the private section of this web site. You will have full access to
this information once you login.
