AMS sample analysis costs typically range from $50 to $1000 a sample dependent on isotope to be measured and sample preparation that may be required. Ion beam analysis capabilities on a fee-for-service basis are also available upon request.
To cover sample preparation and analysis costs, a User Account must be set up through a Strategic Partnership Project Agreement between LLNL and the principal investigator’s institution. In order to provide a non-federal institution with sample analysis, LLNL requires a fully executed Strategic Partnership Project Agreement and payment in advance of sample measurements. Non-federal institutions include universities, research institutes, small and large businesses, state and local governments, foreign universities, and other institutes or entities. For federal entities, User Accounts are established through other mechanisms.
To initiate the contracting process, contact one of the principal scientists above to complete the form “CAMS Analysis Contract Application.”
