While do our best to accommodate various deadlines, no guarantees can be made.  Our turn-around time is dependent upon the type of analysis, the amount preparation required, the performance of various equipment, sample backlog and many, many other variables.  Please inquire directly for a best-guesstimate and allow ample time for analyses to be performed.  

Solid samples intended for carbon and nitrogen analysis need to be dried, homogenized and weighed prior to analysis.  The more of the preparation that is completed prior to submitting your samples, the faster we can get your samples analyzed and the data to you.  Please see the pages of this site dedicated to C/N sample prep for more information.
