Inquire about costs for QMF-PCR and cell isolation methods.

NCMRR/MRDDRC charges include reagent costs, and reflect actual cost (the Center realizes neither profit nor loss).  Consultation regarding study design, data interpretation, and publication/public access are also provided at no cost to NCMRR core users. If data analysis becomes extensive or highly specialized, it will be carried out on a collaborative basis.
