TEST:
NO2-N, NO3-N, NH4-N, PO4-P in solutions
(both regular range and low level AA)
FEES:
Per Sample:
1 analyte - $1 3 analytes - $3
2 analytes - $2 4 analytes - $4
NOTES:
1. Analytes in water/sea water etc.
Price does not include sample digestion.
2. Previous fees are accessed based on
“per injection”, which may cause confusion
in some cases. Align the fees to “per analyte”
mode would be clearer and more
TEST:
Total Carbon and Total Nitrogen in Soils and Plant Tissues
FEE:
$2 per sample including digestion + TC + TN
NOTES:
A single run with Carbon Nitrogen Analyzer will first digest and analyze both TC and TN simultaneously. Thus it is considered a complete package.
TESTS:
FEE:
Various depends on project
Notes:
Users bring materials, low usage, and minimum maintenance cost. However, the replacement cost is high.
TEST:
Multi-elements (P, K, Ca, Mg, etc.) in solutions
FEES:
$1 per element per sample
NOTES:
1. Analytes in water/sea water etc. Price does not
include sample digestion.
2. Previous fees are accessed based on
“per injection”, which does not offset the cost
when multiple elements were requested.
TEST:
UV-Vis Spectrophotometer
FEE:
Various: Depends on Project
NOTES:
UV-Vis is being used more like a research tool than a routine testing instrument so the fee assessment varies among projects. In addition, users bring their own materials. The maintenance is less intensive on UV-Vis and it generally has a much longer ‘shell life’ than other instruments.
TEST
Dry ashing (oxidation) / Organic Matter / Loss-on-Ignition with Muffle Furnace
FEE:
To be determined
NOTES:
Since chem lab does not provide personnel running samples and the material cost to run LOI is minimal, the fee per sample would be minimal.
TEST:
Digestion with microwave preparation system
FEE:
$2 per sample
NOTES:
Microwave digestion system cost high, plus materials (acids) consumptions.
