Pricing
The following rates are for commercial clients. Academic rates are available through the individual labs.
- Rates for equipment are based on “unassisted use”.
- Technical assistance is billed at $120 per hour
- For “assisted use” rates please add the hourly rate for technical assistance to the hourly rate for the equipment.
- Overnight and weekend rates for unsupervised use of equipment may apply. Typically, these are 50% of regular rates.
- Sample preparation fees vary for different equipment and processes. Please contact our individual labs for specific rates.
