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 receiving fee of $3 will be assessed for each sample submitted.
2. Samples received in sets of 20 or more will receive a 25% discount.
3. BYU faculty/staff and government agencies receive a discount (please inquire).

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. Our research staff is available M-F 9:00 AM–5:00 PM MST at (801) 422-2147, or can be reached via email at eal@byu.edu.

When you know the test you would like performed please visit our Sample Submission page for instructions on submitting samples. We look forward to assisting you!
