ISIL ANALYSIS RATES for organic solids, per sample:

EA combustion Within Idaho Out-of-State
ready to run $8 $12
balance time + $4 + $4
dry/grind + $4 + $4
COMPLETE PREP $16 $20

"Per sample" rate includes d15N, d13C, %N and %C plus data processing for each sample.  ("d" should be lower-case Greek letter delta for all isotope ratio designations)

"Balance time" refers to weighing and packing of individual sample material into Sn-foil cups, which are then loaded into the EA autosampler.

The "complete prep" rate includes sample material oven or freeze-drying, grinding, balance time and analysis.

TC/EA pyrolysis Within Idaho Out-of-State
ready to run $8 $12
balance time + $4 + $4
dry/grind + $4 + $4
COMPLETE PREP $16 $20

The "per sample" rate here includes d18O and dD, %O and %H plus data processing for each sample. 

"Balance time" refers to weighing and packing of individual sample material into Ag-foil cups, which are then loaded into the TC/EA zero-blank autosampler.

The "complete prep" rate includes sample material oven or freeze-drying, grinding, balance time and analysis.


ISIL ANALYSIS RATES for gas samples, per sample:

GasBench Within Idaho Out-of-State
d13C of CO2 in air $5 $10

NOTE:  All GasBench analyses are performed in Labco Exetainer 12-mL vials with septa caps.  Arrangements can be made to utilize our stock of used vials.


ISIL ANALYSIS RATES for water samples, per sample:

H-device Within Idaho Out-of-State
dD of liquid water $5 $10
water pipetting to vials + $2 + $2

NOTE:  H-device analyses are performed in standard-opening, 12x32mm, 
2-mL vials 100-uL glass inserts and septa caps.

GasBench Within Idaho Out-of-State
d18O of liquid water by headspace equilibration $10 $15
water pipetting to vials + $2 + $2

NOTE:  All GasBench analyses are performed in Labco Exetainer 12-mL vials with septa caps.  Arrangements can be made to utilize our stock of used vials.

EA combustion Within Idaho Out-of-State
d15N of resin-extracted NO3- (run as AgNO3) $50   $80

TC/EA pyrolysis Within Idaho Out-of-State
d18O of resin-extracted NO3- (run separately as AgNO3)  $12 added to extraction cost above $16 added to extraction cost above


To submit samples, please contact us to make scheduling arrangements and receive instructions.  For certain materials, special considerations must be made prior to weighing in order to select the appropriate amount.  If you do choose to pack your own, please use a 96-well, non-sterile, cell plate and record sample ID and weights (3-decimal places in mg) according to our cell-plate log.  Please note the detailed instructions on that sheet for sample ID.  Also, for all submissions, please complete the ISIL Authorization Form and send it to our address with your samples.  Please request an e-mail attachment of these forms if they don't download.
