I know pricing should not be difficult
Unfortunately, it's a bit tricky to charge accurately for the work we perform.
All samples are different and take different amounts of time to work on. Almost all of the variability (in your results & in the pricing) is due to the protein extraction and sample prep.
LC-MS runs are charged per hour.
We can give you an estimate, however you can cut down the costs by doing a lot of the work yourself and using shorter LC-MS gradients.
Price Estimates per Sample
UC Davis Customer | Non-Profit Customer | Industry Customer | |
| Protein | 270$ | 290$ | 310$ |
| Peptide | 160$ | 180$ | 200$ |
- These are base price estimates including data analysis and 1 hour LC-MS runs. Final prices depend on the type of sample preparation, actual LC-MS runtime, and extra labor.
Do the protein digestion yourself and send the lab your peptides to save money.
