A $30 (federally-funded) handling and analysis surcharge applies to small samples (2-9 µmol).
A $120 (federally-funded) surcharge applies to high precision analysis (minimum batch size 5 samples).
Analyses are invoiced after results are reported.
Additional fees may be assessed for preparation of samples not ready for routine processing, samples which yield no analyzable carbon or those withdrawn at client request.
