Price Schedule
Boron Isotopic
Analysis
The following rates are for Laboratory
Services ( See NOTES below 1-6):
Billing
Category
| Measurement of the 11B/10B
isotopic ratio using Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS). Process
includes ion exchange column extraction, distillation, use of HEPA environment,
with results reported as the ratio and d11B
corrected with respect to the NIST standard- |
RATE $200 |
| Measurement
of the boron concentration using ICPMS.- |
RATE
$30 |
| Filtering
of samples as requested by Client.- |
RATE
$10 |
NOTES:
-
The
sample fee is not charged if the analysis fails; however, a processing
fee
of $50.00 is charged to cover laboratory time and materials for samples that
fail to yield reliable results under specific circumstances. These include
the following: 1) the sample has low boron concentration, generally less
than 50 mg/L and the sample volume is low yielding less than 50 mg of boron
mass, or 2) the sample required filtering in the laboratory to remove
sediment or precipitate.
-
Rates
exclude shipping expenses, which are charged at actual cost with no
overhead
fee. Coolers are returned to sender if requested and billed at the
FedEx
ground rate.
-
Samples
are retained for one
month then discarded unless instructed otherwise.
-
Final
results are forwarded to the Client by email and
hard copy of
the final report
is mailed. Published
journal articles are available upon request.
-
Detailed
interpretation of isotopic results can be provide by personnel of the
Geochemical Technologies Consulting
Firm;
a
consulting
rate schedule is available upon request.
-
Client
should expect a reasonable turnaround time based on the number of samples
submitted, generally within 60 days of receipt.
