# Reduced to half of normal rate after 30 hours have been logged in a single 3 month quarter.

 

Normal rates apply to samples which have been prepared by the guidelines given on our Mass Spectrometry page.  If significant preparation remains to be done upon submission, the "Additional Sample Preparation" charge will be assessed, since the service will take significantly more time to complete.
