 =====Recharge Rates=====
-The Microfluidics Lab and Innovation Workshop recharge based on the time that users spend in the lab, measured by the time interval between swiping into the lab when they enter, and swiping out when they leave.
+The Innovation Workshop recharge is based on the time spent using tools or space in the lab. This is measured using reservations in FBS. Therefore, **all lab use must be recorded through FBS reservations.**
-The current rates are:
+For active use of the lab, which includes tools like the microscope, machine tools, laser cutter, etc., your reservation time should match the time that you spend working in the lab.
-{| class="wikitable"
+For passive tools, such as the silane chamber and 3D printers, your reservation time should match the total time that your tool is in use. (i.e. the total duration of the print or the total duration of silane deposition)
