This cost breakdown is very accurate.
Occasionally some additional services may need to be added to optimize your results – if changes need to be made after submitting your samples, then you will be contacted to authorization any additional charges.
For custom services, prices are project dependent – please see Fred Hagen
PLEASE NOTE :
These prices are for NIH grant holders and also for investigators with a University of Rochester grant account. If you pay with neither of these types of grants/accounts, then add 54% to fee.
