Analytical Services Pricing
Analysis Performed by LC-MS/MS

The cost per sample is based upon the cost of materials, labor, instrument time, and UF facilities and administrative (F&A) costs. The F&A rate of 15% is waived for IDC-generating UF projects. The cost per sample is also based upon the number of samples to be analyzed.

As a rough approximation metals analyses usually run between $25 and $75 per sample, and LC/MS/MS and GC/MS/MS analyses are typically between $100 and $200 per sample. For lipidomics, the cost for running a quantitative analysis (targeted analysis of known lipids) is $120 per sample. The cost for quantification of up to three hormones or cannabinoid compounds is $60 and an additional $15 will be charged for any additional analyte. Costs may be substantially higher if only a few samples are to be run and cannot be batched with other samples for the same analysis. Costs may be substantially lower if the client is able to do some or all of the sample preparation work, thereby reducing the labor costs. The laboratory is willing to develop new analytic methods to meet customer needs, with pricing depending on many factors including the estimated cost of labor and materials.

Please contact the laboratory to discuss your project so that an exact price can be quoted.
