NSRRC invites industries to utilize our facilities and research capabilities to enforce their R&D advancement. To promote the use of our facilities, we offer a complimentary service for the first try. Industries have several options to continue their R&D collaboration with NSRRC:
Option 1: Light source rental
- This solution is suitable for industrial users with experience in using synchronous light sources. Users only rent the light source period and analyze the operation by themselves.
- Before users operate the equipment themselves, they must obtain the consent of the beamline spokesperson and sign an [Experimental Safety Commitment] to clarify their rights and obligations in using the equipment.
- The charging method for this plan is that Taiwan Light Source (TLS) charges NT$80,000 per experimental shift (8 hours), and domestic industry samples will be charged NT$50,000 during the promotion period. Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) charges NT$160,000 per experimental shift (8 hours), and domestic industry samples will be charged NT$120,000 during the promotion period. If the usage is less than a shift of time, the price will be calculated based on the proportion of usage time. The minimum usage unit is 1 hour. The above charges are subject to an additional 5% sales tax.
Option 2: Commission analysis
- This solution is suitable for new users. It is priced on a piece-by-piece basis based on the analysis technology (for case pricing fees, please contact the PI of the Industry Application Division).
- Plenty of routine analysis and testing needs can be handled through the Center's [Batch Entrusted Analysis Case].
- Express analysis service can be provided, and the analysis results will be provided within two days after receipt. The fee will be twice the original fee.
Option 3: Commissioned research case
- This solution is suitable for long-term users with specific research topics. Projects can be single-season to multi-year contracts. Project fees are negotiated by both parties based on the actual project content.
- Compared with commission analysis, this solution allows for more flexible beamtime usage and provides more professional and in-depth technical support services.
- The pricing of this plan includes:
1.Light source rental fee (please refer to Option 1)
2.The cost for experimental operation and data acquisition is NT$1,000 per hour.
3.Professional manpower analysis, consulting, reporting and other expenses.
4.Consumables required to carry out planned experiments.
5.Other necessary expenses required for the execution of the plan.
6.The above charges are subject to an additional 5% sales tax.
[Note]
- Relevant expenses arising from special experimental needs (such as special equipment) must be borne by the client.
- Please discuss the above usage plans with each project contact person to confirm the feasibility, and then proceed according to the relevant points of the Center.
