Fee schedules have been determined based upon consumable and labor costs. Fees are negotiable for large projects and for experienced users capable of using instrumentation without guidance. Any fee discount must be discussed with the associate director prior to initiation of the project. Under no circumstances are fee schedules to be negotiated with the staff. Each sample (set of samples) must be accompanied by a signed submission form including a valid MOCode.
