PRICES UPDATED APRIL 2021

cost of analysis:

Carbon & Nitrogen - Plant & Animal Tissue

$15.00/sample. Includes;

  • 𝛿13C and 𝛿15N
  • %C and %N
  • Relative Abundance of Carbon to Nitrogen (C:N)

Carbon & Nitrogen - Sediments & Soil

$20.00/sample. Includes;

  • 𝛿13C and 𝛿15N
  • %C and %N
  • Relative Abundance of Carbon to Nitrogen (C:N)

Hydrogen & Oxygen

$20.00/sample. Solid organics only. Includes;

  • 𝛿2H and 𝛿18O
  • %H and %O
  • NOTE: We do NOT analyze carbonates for 𝛿13C & 𝛿18O

Glass Fiber Filters

$30.00/sample.

  • It is recommended that an electric pump be used to filter water in order to ensure an adequate amount of material is collected. The onus is on the researcher to ensure adequate amount of material is collected
  • Please send several blank filters (1 for every 10 samples).
  • There is NO guarantee for data generated from glass fiber filter papers.

weighing samples:

  • $6.00/sample for homogeneous dry ground tissue.

  • $8.00/sample for any samples that require sub-sampling (e.g. feathers, fur, fins, scales and samples with very little material).

  • Please add an additional $5.00/sample if grinding is needed.

  • NOTE: samples need to be ground into a homogeneous sample for stable isotope analyses.

drying samples:

  • $1.00/sample (submitted in containers ready for drying oven)

  • $5.00/sample (submitted in containers NOT ready for drying oven)

  • NOTE: It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that fresh or frozen samples submitted for drying are contained in oven-safe vials. Furthermore, if fresh samples are sent in vials taller than 8 cm, the sample may be transferred into glass scintillation vials at the client's expense.

pretreatments:

  • $50.00/hour

    • This includes any treatment of samples prior to oven-drying (e.g. decanting ethanol and rinsing samples with distilled water, moving frozen samples into glass scintillation vials, dissections, etc.)

  • $10.00/sample for LIPID EXTRACTION

  • $10.00/sample for ACID TREATMENT

Additional charges may be applied to samples not meeting required submission standards.

Discount pricing: A 10% discount pricing will be applied to the Analysis Only for shipments over 1000 samples

Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios are simultaneously derived during sample analysis. Hence, the price per sample includes both isotopes (unless the C:N dictates separate analysis).
