Core Facilities

Notre Dame’s core facilities and research resources support a vibrant research community and are fully staffed to provide expert guidance, support, and instrumentation for their users. For a full list of core facilities at Notre Dame, please visit research.nd.edu/our-research/facilities-and-resources.

iLab Software

The University uses Agilent’s iLab Core Facility Management software, which provides robust functionality for core facilities. iLab was specifically designed to support the operations for shared resource facilities. This includes scheduling for resources, access controls for equipment needing trained users, cost-tracking for projects, and reporting capabilities.

iLab Registration

All on-campus core facility users are required to register in iLab through InsideND using the appropriate log-in instructions - internal users, external users, and IUSM-SB faculty. 

iLab Training & Resources

Training on iLab software is available for core facility personnel and internal and external users upon request. To participate in a live training and for questions around training needs, please contact ndcores@nd.edu.
