ISL Price Schedule

The ISL is pleased to offer stable isotope analyses on a fee-for-service basis

Note: 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

Please download 2024 Price Schedule for most up-to-date prices. (The summary of prices below is out-of-date and under construction). 

A note on Turn Around Times (TATs):  Unfortunately we cannot guarantee TATs due to student research priority and/or instrument maintenance and TATs may be longer than quoted.  If you require RUSH service please contact us.

Inquires about CNSHO can be sent to islmanager@ucalgary.ca

Inquiries about Strontium and/or Boron should be sent to: mwieser@ucalgary.ca or kamiller@ucalgary.ca.
