IVAC Now Accepting All Service Requests, Submissions via MiCORES

ULAM’s In-Vivo Animal Core (IVAC) began piloting IVAC services in MiCORES, the U-M’s internal core facility management system built on Agilent’s iLab software platform, in Fall 2021.

Effective Monday, February 7, 2022, all IVAC service requests will now be processed through MiCORES and the use of all paper (PDF) submission forms will be discontinued.

Many in the U-M research community may already be familiar with MiCORES, which is currently used by over 40 core research facilities across campus to manage service requests, track the status of projects, and process billing inquiries.

How to Submit Requests in MiCORES

• Login to MiCORES
  • Login as “UMich User” with your U-M level-1 credentials
  • If you do not have an account, use the instructions outlined by “Need an iLab Account?”
  • Navigate to the IVAC homepage using  menu in the upper left-hand navigation, select “Core Facilities,” type IVAC in search, and select “UMICH In-Vivo Animal Core”
  • Select “Initiate a Request” in the “Request Services” tab to begin

Additional Information & Resources

• MiCORES will provide a cost estimate, but billing for IVAC services will continue to be processed through eRAM
