Rates

This page mirrors the content from the original SIRFER rates page. Below are the structured per-sample prices converted from the published table.

Customers who will be loading their own samples into capsules can use the weigh guide (Excel) as a guide to find their target weight. Contact the SIRFER manager at sirfer@utah.edu for confirmation.

All isotope analyses above include % element composition estimates, as appropriate.
