Special Methods or Detection Limits Specialty Method Development Sample and Waste Disposal Open for Saturday Sample Receipt GENERAL NOTES: (Conditions listed below are based on typical project requirements. Special requirements may require other terms.) Typical Rush Turnaround Time (TAT) Surcharges : 2.5X for Minimum TAT. 2X for Minimum TAT + 1 Business Day. 1.75X for Min. TAT + 2-3 Bus. Days. 1.5X for Min. TAT + 5 Bus. Days. 1.25X for Min. TAT + 10 Bus. Days. TATs are based on faxed Sample Results - within times determined as business days from sample receipt. (Sat. Delivery = Mon. Rcpt.) Rush TATs should be requested at least 1 week before sample delivery and need Laboratory approval before sample receipt. Volume Discounts are available upon request. Typical Discounts are: 20% for >10 sample SDGs or more for large projects Payments are due within 30 days of invoice receipt, with 1.5% per month charges on late balances. Prompt payment discounts are 2%10 Net 30. Samples received with short sample hold times, (3 business days or less), will accrue a 50% rush surcharge. Short hold time tests (<3 d) are exempt. Subcontract analysis surcharges: "Invoicing Only" for 10% surcharge; Shipping & handling to sub-lab for 20%; PAI Reports for 30%-50%. Typical Sample Kits must be requested at least 3 bus. days before Delivery Date, or rush shipping charges will apply. Un-returned supplies are available & billable at: materials cost + shipping costs + 20% handling. Small Batches, < 5 samples, incur the greater of a $250 minimum or 5 sample charge, due to Method QC Reqmts. (Blanks, MS/MSDs, & LCS/LCSDs). (Small Batch surcharges may be waived for large projects.) Radioactive Samples will typically incur a 25% Health and Safety Surcharge for: Alpha > 1 nCi/L or 0.5 nCi/g; Beta > 2 nCi/L or 1 nCi/g; H-3 > 100 nCi/L or 1 nCi/g; Gamma > 2 nCi/L or 1 nCi/g; Radioactivity Notes: Radioactive samples require lab approval before receipt; mixed waste or hazardous samples require special disposal costs or return costs and prior lab approval. Special Reporting Limits are available for additional costs. Special Requirements raised after project initiation will typically incur additional surcharges of 5% - 30%: Ex: TICs, special Detection Limits, extra report copies, EDDs, special reporting forms, multiple re-runs for dilutions, etc.
