Analytical Services Available and Costs at the Queen's Isotope Lab
Each type of analysis in the Queen's facility requires different costs that are usually determined after consultation with the user. Normally, there are two fees, one for NSERC or other government-funded research, and one for all other-funded research. For more information, contact the laboratory. The following is a list of normal user fees for specific analyses and typical costs (CDN$): View PDF
