Rate Determination Steps

  1. Contact the Bioanalysis Center staff to develop a cost estimate based on the following factors:
    1. Number of samples
    2. Type of tubes samples are stored in
    3. Type of analysis / service provided
    4. Deadline to complete the work (rush may incur an additional cost)
    5. Type of organization (i.e., internal to UNT, external academic, or external industry)
  2. The organization supporting the work needs to agree to the Terms and Conditions of the Bioanalysis Center
  3. After a PO is generated by the supporting organization, 50% of the cost will be due prior to service being completed. Invoices can be paid using the standard payment mechanisms of your organization
  4. Samples are mailed to the Bioanalysis Center (at your cost) and requested analysis is completed. Remaining samples will be archived (additional cost to store long-term) or discarded after analysis
  5. The remaining 50% balance will be due within 30-d of the delivery of service
