* To determine the total analysis price for sample analysis, add the appropriate Sample Preparation, Sample Analysis, Instrument Usage, and/or Sample Handling Fees
Example 1: 25 water samples for NO3 & NH4
Price per sample = Flow Analysis Fee ($5.50) + Instrument Fee ($1.00) + Sample Handling Fee ($0.80)
Total NO3 & NH4 Analysis Price = 25 samples x ($5.50 + $1.00 + $0.80) = 25 x ($7.30) = $182.50
Example 2: 50 soil samples for total C,H,N,S
C,H,N Analysis
Price per sample = Combustion Analysis Fee ($8.25)
S Analysis
Price per sample = Sample Digestion Fee ($15.00) + ICP Analysis Fee ($5.50) + Instrument Fee ($1.00)
Total C,H,N,S Analysis Price = 50 samples x [(CHN Analysis Price) + (S Analysis Price) + Sample Handling Fee]
Total C,H,N,S Analysis Price = 50 samples x [($8.25) + ($15.00 + $5.50 + $1.00) + $0.80] = 50 x ($30.55) = $1,527.50
