Cost Recovery - Sample and Data Access

Access to SALSA samples and data will incur a cost to cover the labour involved to work with the data and samples requested. Samples and data access will be bound by terms and conditions agreed upon by both parties. 

  • Initial project access fees start at $2,000.00
  • Data request and collations $105.00 / hour
  • Sample handling and aliquoting starts at $10.28 / sample
  • Freight charts are calculated separately by a reputable courier company and will be billed directly to requesting party

The above costings are indicative only, a more specific budget will be calculated when data/sample request is submitted.
