Price Lists
Pricing for soil, biosolid, water, and plant tissue tests can be found below. All testing is also subject to the following policies:
1. A sample preparation fee of $4 will be assessed for each sample submitted.
2. Samples received in sets of 20 or more will receive a 25% discount.
3. Please inquire about Government/BYU faculty and staff discounts.
If you are unsure which test would be proper for the analysis you want completed, please contact a member of our research staff to discuss your project. We are available M-F 9:00 AM–5:00 PM MST at (801) 422-2147, or via email at eal@byu.edu.
