Rates

Most instruments may be used with or without assistance. If an instrument is run with assistance, MCAC employees will run the samples that are submitted and create reports relaying the results of each sample. If customers would prefer to run an instrument without assistance, a training process is required.

Rates Effective July 1, 2024

Fees are per hour of instrument time unless otherwise noted.

When two listed instruments are utilized together (e.g., chromatography with mass spectrometry), the rate will be the sum of the individual instrument rates.

An expedite fee of $25/sample applies if the customer requests completion of analysis sooner than current turnaround time. Turnaround time is typically 1-2 weeks, and the customer is provided the best estimate when they request analysis. The expedite fee does not apply to time sensitive experiments scheduled with MCAC staff with advance notice.

Rates are subject to change and/or correction in accordance with established guidelines. Please contact MCAC staff with questions or concerns.
