Services

SIBL offers a wide range of analytical services for external companies, societies and academics. A contract of services can be discussed specifically with the Director of SIBL to ascertain whether it will be a collaborative or non-collaborative contract. Based on the type of samples, the number of samples, preparation required etc., will determine the analytical cost per sample.
