I2AT uses the FOM (Facility Online Manager) platform for user registration, instrument reservation, and usage tracking. This provides accurate accounting information for the determination of instrument rates and fees. Use the Book Now button to access FOM.

FOM Registration

Users must be registered in Facility On-line Manager (FOM) to schedule, access, and track usage on instruments.

  • If you are a new user, please select “I am a new user” and start the registration process in FOM.
