Analysis
This table is a summary of the analysis services routinely offered by UCSC SiL in support of your research. Our facility has the capability to perform other measurements not listed on this page. If you are interested in making a measurement that you do not see listed on this website, please ask!
Service rates are the cost per sample measurement. Standard reference material measurements are included in the service rate at no additional cost. Standard reference material measurements include multiple replicates of independent quality control standards that establish the precision and accuracy of the analysis.
Replicate sample measurements are performed at the discretion of the researcher and will typically be charged as additional measurements.
The service rates listed here apply for University of California. If you will pay for services with funds from UCSC or any other University of California institution, no additional overhead will be charged. If the funding for this service is from an institution other than the UCSC or the University of California, there will be an additional overhead surcharge. The overhead rate depends on your institution. The current overhead rates are listed on the bottom of this page.
