Who can use this service
Students, faculty and staff affiliated with Tokyo Tech.
You need to register an account at the RevvitySignals (formerly PerkinElmer) license management site.
You must use your Tokyo Tech email address (m.titech.ac.jp) to register an account.
Usage Fees
No fees are collected from students.
For faculty members, each department will charge a dues based on the annual contract amount to the laboratory, etc. where the user is located.
A survey will be sent to each department to determine whether or not their laboratories use the system and the number of faculty members who belong to them.
In the past, the fee was simply divided by the number of laboratories, but in recent years, there are research units with many researchers and large laboratories, so in order to maintain fairness, we ask for one additional unit for every five faculty members or more (one unit for five or fewer, two units for six to ten). The number of students is irrelevant.
A survey of usage is conducted every year, and a lump-sum charge is made to departments in the following year's budget based on actual usage in the previous year.
Based on the actual usage in recent years, the amount of contribution is about 40,000 to 50,000 yen per credit.
