The Chromatography Laboratory performs a wide variety of analytical testing ranging from established Compendial methods to new methods developed to meet a client’s specific needs. The majority of our organic analyses are non-routine and customer specific. Some factors which can influence each project include the sample matrix, number of analytes, the ability to resolve all components in a single separation, and the type of sample preparation required.
The capability and pricing information noted below is based on representative sample types and analytes processed in our Chromatography Department. This list is by no means exhaustive. We develop new analytical methods on a regular basis. Much of the work performed in the Chromatography Department has involved the development of new methods or the modification of existing methods for application to a variety of matrices.
The majority of our organic analyses are non-routine. Consequently, pricing is project specific. Requests requiring method development or validation will be handled by a formal quotation and are based upon an hourly rate. Below are some general guidelines for estimating the cost of analysis.
| Method Development or Method Validation | $144 - $180 | per Hour |
| Setup Fees | $350 - $460 | per Sample Set |
| Single Analyte | $180 | per Sample |
| Two Analytes (single preparation) | $80 - $180 | per Analyte |
| Three or more Analytes (single preparation) | $65 - $180 | per Analyte |
| Regulatory Surcharge | See Quality Assurance Section | |
