Posted fees for each test or service are based on direct costs. Indirect cost rates applicable to purchasers organization may also be allocated to the final purchase order/contract.

Analyses and fee schedule for CCAL. Effective 1 July 2009. The analyses and fees are suggested prices based on a $60.00/hr lab fee. Samples requiring considerably more time will require adjustments. The availability of analyses is subject to change and the Laboratory Supervisor should be contacted for current schedules (541) 750-7336.

*Highly turbid or colored samples analyzed for an additional 30% above analysis cost for background correction.
1Many investigators may find it cost effective to do their own sample preparation.
**Trace Metals analysis is through an external laboratory not managed by CCAL. CCAL does not monitor quality assurance of the external laboratory and customers are encouraged to submit blind samples to ensure accuracy and integrity of results.
Shipping is charged at reimbursement of service cost plus 10%.
Standard service fees apply for sample pickup.
