All clients are required to fill out the service request form posted on our website and send it by email or fax to the Core. The core director will provide a formal quote for services after evaluating an investigator’s particular needs. Below are some pricing examples for various tests (not all offered tests are listed). Discounts apply for a battery of tests or an ongoing project. Fees do not include animal purchase, genotyping, breeding, or per diems while in the Core facilities (IF Non-CWRU), although animal purchase can be coordinated if desired.
