The CGSC provides three separate pricing schedules designed to keep the facility as accessible as possible.
The pricing provided here is intended to be used a reference, we will be able to give a much better estimate of costs and running times once a method has been developed.
In addition to the running costs, each user is also responsible for the cost of library used. A table at the bottom of this page gives the basic pricing for compounds.
Users are responsable for supplying there own reagents and assay plates.
