Isotope Science Lab
ISL Price Schedule
The ISL is pleased to offer stable isotope analyses (SIA) on a fee-for-service basis
Although the ISL operates on a cost recovery basis, our price schedule has been designed to reflect support received from Canadian Governmental bodies (principally NSERC). Therefore, we have created three classes of prices:
1) Canadian Academic Researchers (NSERC/SSHRC etc.)
2) Canadian Governmental organizations and Non-Canadian Academic Researchers
3) Industry
Prices for most common analyses are listed below or download our 2025 Price Schedule.
Turn Around Times (TATs): Due to research priority and/or instrument maintenance, TATs may be longer than quoted. RUSH service is generally not offered.
Sample preparation is the responsibility of the client. Any further preparation (precipitation, filtering, cleaning, grinding etc.) may be arranged but at additional cost. Please contact the ISL to discuss.
Inquires about CNSHO-SIA should be sent to islmanager@ucalgary.ca.
Inquiries about Strontium and/or Boron SIA should be sent to: mwieser@ucalgary.ca or kamiller@ucalgary.ca.
