Costs

For the CBB facilities: free of charge for CBB members 

For FEMR: CBB members can use the FEMR equipment for minimum cost. Arrangements can be done to cover the cost by CBB. 

For other centers (LASM, (CM)², and Center for Bone and Periodontal research):

Accessibility to associate centers can be facilitated through CBB via common service support.
