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
Comparison Report $40 (per report)

Additional services and Fees
Gram Stain/Biochem./Coagulase Gram stain/Biochem/Coagulase: required confirmatory tests for E. coli, Salmonella and S. aureus FAME matches. Gram stains also available by request. $25/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
Anaerobe Surcharge $10/sample     TPC w/ serial dilutionsTPC w/serial dilutions: for very contaminated or highly concentrated samples, material is diluted to obtain accurate microbial counts. $150/sample
Purification and Isolation (as needed) $20/sample     Processing Fee $30/batch
