Bioassay Costs

["Robert M. Loesch" <loesch@spok.eh.doe.gov>]

The DOE is trying to compile comparative costs for doing in vitro
analysis.  What we are looking for is the cost on a per-sample basis
for a particular nuclide (e.g. Pu-239, H-3) or analysis method
(e.g. gross alpha, uranium fluoroscopy) and the required or 
contracted for turn-around time (typically affects cost).  We don't
need the name of the laboratory but would be interested in knowing
whether you perform the analysis in house or contract out.

Please send your reply directly to me to help keep the clutter down.
I will post a summary of the results when the have been complied.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Bob Loesch
