  1. Charges will be assessed as per the current exchange rate.
  2. The turnaround times listed are approximate for well-prepared samples (i.e. dried, ground, weighed, encapsulated in tin (Sn) capsules, and organized in 96-well plates). Large sample sets (>100 samples) will have a longer turnaround time. Test samples and small sample sets (<50 regular / < 20 difficult samples) will have a shorter turnaround time than posted above. Please write to pghosh@iisc.ac.in for queries or information on a more specific turnaround time for your samples.
  3. Please contact us well in advance to discuss the same.
