Fees for
Radiocarbon Analyses
NOSAMS accepts samples from all qualified laboratories and
charges fees that vary according to the type of sample and
the nature of the project. Rates are reduced for U.S. federally
funded research. Analyses are invoiced after results are reported.
For larger sample batches (50 or more), please contact us
regarding pricing. Fees are set with the concurrence of our
National Advisory and Planning Board and the National Science
Foundation and are revised on an annual basis. Prices listed
below are effective as of January 1, 2008. Printer-friendly
version of fees here.

A $26 (U.S. federally funded) handling and analysis surcharge applies
to small
samples (< 25 µmol). Additional fees may be assessed
for preparation of samples not ready for routine processing,
samples which yield no analyzable carbon or those withdrawn
at client request.
† We offer free analysis of one blank and one modern
standard for submissions of CO2 in batches of 10
samples or more (that would be >= 12 actual samples submitted)
and charge half price for the standards submitted in batches
of less than 10 gas samples.
* Fees for swipe or contamination check
analysis may be waived if made in conjunction with regular
sample submission.
