Core Facilities

Note: The UT Knoxville Employee Hub has launched.
We will be moving all internal resources and information to ORIED’s hub site by 2025.

The UT Core Facilities are shared resources, available to all UT researchers and industry partners, often on a fee for service basis. These facilities offer access to high-end instrumentation, technical support, and expert consultation to the University of Tennessee research community and, in many cases, to external customers as well.

The Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development has contracted with Stratocore, a billing and scheduling system for use by UT Core Facilities. Stratocore will make interacting with the cores a seamless process and help these facilities streamline their accounting process. Click here for more information about creating a Stratocore account.

Please complete the Core Facilities Program Order Form to order. All questions or follow-up information should be emailed to utcfp@utk.edu. The CFP business office completes orders on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
