Specialized Services
Please note:
- All prices quoted are in Canadian Dollars (CAD).
- Researchers from the public sector receive ‘Academic pricing’.
- Large projects involving a combination of 3 or more services may be eligible for discounts of 10‐15%.
TMIC’s pricing model is in accordance with the Genome Canada Access policy for the Genomics Innovation Network:
- Where the users are researchers from the public sector, pricing will be based only on the variable costs of providing the service (e.g., consumables, technicians’ salaries and consultation time)
- Where the users are researchers from the private sector, full cost‐recovery is required, and the pricing will be based on both the variable costs as described above, and other direct costs such as overhead, amortization expense related to equipment costs, etc. Institutional overhead rates also apply to private sector projects.
- Prices are set using the above criteria as guidelines. Variations in prices may be due to the type of relationship between the user and TMIC (collaborative or fee‐for‐service), the level of interaction required (e.g., with or without post data‐generation analysis), and the magnitude of the request which may benefit from volume cost savings. TMIC is not able to provide services to any users (collaborative or fee‐for‐service) at prices below the variable cost of the service as defined above.
