Analyses and fee schedule for CCAL. Effective 1 July 2008. The analyses and fees are suggested prices based on a $54.00/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.
