Conditions

1. The Marine and Freshwater Research Laboratory will advise how these samples are to be collected, stored and submitted for analysis but accepts no responsibility if these procedures are not followed. The result of the analysis will be for the sample as received.

2. There will be a surcharge if the samples require special treatment prior to analysis (eg filtering, centrifuging, drying, grinding, etc).

3. Students currently studying at tertiary institutions may receive a discount of up to 40% on any or all of these charges. Proof of enrolment or a letter from the supervisor may be required.

4. GST (Goods and Services Tax) Statement GST is not included in the above pricing schedule and is applicable at a rate of 10%.

5. Minimum charge is $60 ($30 for students).

6. This field equipment only available with MAFRL field staff.
