Fee Schedule
Due to the nature of the throughput of our assays, we require a minimum sample submission size.
Each service includes:
- A one-hour project planning meeting so we can understand specific project needs, outline a project schedule and estimate costs.
- A one-hour follow-up meeting to discuss results and answer any follow-up questions
- A methods write-up for publication

Data Retention Policy
All data generated from analyses conducted by the Biomass Analytical Facility will be made immediately available to researchers in either an electronic form or on a recordable media (CD, DVD, or other USB-recordable devices) upon request. It is very important that all researchers make archival copies of their data since we will retain data for only 6 months from time of collection. All data will be deleted after six months and will no longer be available.
