List for Sample Preparation and Analysis Terms and Conditions: The following are the charges for the services currently offered by Central Analytical and Applied Research Unit (CAARU) in College of science. Pricing was made after comparing all services with the local and international prices and considering the demand of the analysis, consumables and time required to run each test. The below prices are subjected for discounts when samples are received in bulks*. Some analysis may require method development and /or interpretation, sample preparation or special treatment. Additional charges will be applied for those as per quotation depending on consumables required and time spend. Additional charges may apply for urgent samples. For same day result it will be 100% and for 2-3 day 30% extra charges will apply. For research projects, a package of special price may be considered when projects are collaboration between the researcher and CAARU. That will be quoted based on amount of work, consumables, CAARU input etc. Minimum charges for instruments with booking (Hourly) facility will be an hour. Charges will start at the time of booking unless any delay is justified. If run hour exceeds after office hours for hourly booking analysis will charge 100% extra for each hour. s for special sample preparation for any instrument will be on request. CAARU 1 of 7
