Investigator Costs

Investigators pay a nominal processing fee for samples received from the CHTN: $30/sample for researchers at academic institutions and $70/sample for researchers at non-academic institutions. Slides and blocks accompanying tissue samples may be available at costs ranging from $4.50-$15.00. The charges are not for the tissue, but are to partially offset the costs of collecting, handling and preparing the specimens in accordance with the detailed requirements of the investigator. A sample is defined as one processed piece of specimen, regardless of the sample size or type of processing. The investigator must also pay the cost of shipping samples to his/her laboratory.
