> A $30 (federally-funded) handling and analysis surcharge applies to small samples: 25-100 µg C (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assessed for preparation of samples not ready for routine processing, samples which yield no analyzable carbon or those withdrawn at client request.
