A minimum batch of 20 samples should be submitted. If less than 20, extra charges may apply or waiting time may be longer
to make a batch.
For the above isotopic analyses, if bomb digestion is required over standard open-beaker digestions, an extra $30 per sample
will be charged.
Prices are reviewed annually and apply for the calendar year.
Prices are based on normal samples ready for analysis in RIF Lab. Difficult samples will incur surcharge depending on the
nature of the samples. Samples that need substantial pre-preparation outside RIF lab will incur extra labour/consumable costs.
For a quote on analytical charges for other types of materials not listed above, such as Hf, Cd and other types of combinations,
please contact Prof. Jian-xin Zhao ([email protected]), RIF Manager.
