PCR Optimization PCR Optimization: In our experience approximately ≤ 10% of samples fail PCR amplification on the 1st attempt. The most common cause of PCR failure is insufficient DNA concentration. By optimizing the concentration we can in most cases successfully amplify the DNA. If we are unable to amplify the DNA, there will be a total charge of $25 per sample.	$25

Additional services and Fees
Gram Stain/Biochem/Coag. Gram stain/Biochem/Coagulase: required confirmatory tests for E. coli, Salmonella and S. aureus FAME matches. Gram stains also available by request.	$20/sample MorphologyMorphology: Morphology of an organism will be evaluated where there is good colony separation (usually the 4th quadrant of a quadrant streak). Morphology is divided into 6 categories: Color - the overall color of the colony Shape - the overall shape of the colony Margin - the edge of the colony Density - whether or not you can see through the colony (media independent) Elevation - refers to the way the colony rises above the media Size Measure the size of one single colony	$30/sample
MicroscopyMicroscopy: identification by traditional microscopy. Expect 1-2 week TAT. of Fungi to Genus level	$70/sample TPC (Total Plate Count)	$30/sample
MicroscopyMicroscopy: identification by traditional microscopy. Expect 1-2 week TAT. of Fungi to Species level	$85/sample TPC w/ serial dilutionsTPC w/serial dilutions: for very contaminated or highly concentrated samples, material is diluted to obtain accurate microbial counts.	$125/sample
