Access for downloading your confocal data

Facility HCS transfer access

The file server is a transition zone only – to allow movement of data from the imaging unit to your own storage locations. It is not a permanent storage area. Although we aim to store data in this location for approximately 3 months, this cannot be guaranteed and data will be removed without warning, as space is required. Data on this location is not backed up and will be deleted without generating copies.

Your data is valuable so please take steps to move it off this location and make suitable backups. We are unable to assist if your data is lost.
