What Determines Radiocarbon Dating Cost?
A quote depends on what the sample is, what preparation it needs and what the project is intended to establish. Benzene Line reviews the details before confirming scope and cost.
- Material type and number of samples.
- Sample condition and preservation.
- Preparation and pretreatment requirements.
- Available carbon content.
- Unusual or difficult matrices.
- Scientific question and project requirements.
Information Needed for a Quote
Describe the sample material, quantity, count, origin and context, expected age if known, previous conservation or chemical treatment, desired timing and research question. The more relevant context you provide, the more useful the initial review can be.
Do not send any physical sample until Benzene Line confirms acceptance and provides instructions.
Why Prices Are Quote-Based
Different materials can require different selection, pretreatment and preparation routes, and some samples may not be suitable at all. A review prevents a generic price from implying an unsupported method, quantity or deliverable.
