How to get started

Please submit a MARC Service Request form to the JCI Core. A member of our core management team will contact you for an initial meeting (at no cost).

Costs and Ways to Lower Costs

Costs will be discussed during the initial consultation. The core management will work with each core user to suggest the lowest cost route while achieving the goals of the study. The MARC may be able to offer a voucher to cover pilot experimentation, with a prospect of future core usage. MARC members will receive internal rates for sorting in the La Jolla Institute Flow Sorting Facility. If you are interested in becoming a MARC member, please visit our MARC membership page.
