Timing and Pricing

Pricing:

Our clients often have unique requirements and requests which make it difficult for us to publish a “fixed price” chart. However, we do have some relative guidelines which we hope will make budgetary estimates possible:

• NSALabs® leverages MultiBrain® technology  in all histologic processing which allows us to achieve an efficiency unequalled by ANY other method. The result is that our end product is superior to that produced by other methods, and almost definitely less expensive to our clients.
• As a benchmark, the average price for staining one of our rodent sections is between $4 and $8 per section. Our own research of other laboratories pricing revealed a price of no less than $10 per section and ranging up to $50/section for stains we offer for only ~$6/section.

Placing an Order:

Although it is not necessary to receive a quote in advance of your project conclusion, it is frequently helpful to do so as we are able to consult with you regarding final steps in preparation for our services that are sometimes more easily executed when planned in advance.

Here are the steps to follow to engage our services:

1. Contact us to discuss service options and receive a specific quote for your project.
2. Confirm acceptance of the quote by email and/or with a purchase order number.
3. If you know the date when you plan to send the specimens, specify this date and we should be able to confirm a return date (typically 3-4 weeks for standard processing)
4. Refer to perfusion protocol on our web site to prepare your specimens for our services-NOTE: CRITICAL STEP, PLEASE REVIEW TO ENSURE QUALITY RESULTS
5. Follow shipping instructions to send your specimens.
