             Students:              Rs. 1100
             Private users:       Rs. 3000

Analysis Requirements:
The samples should be finely powdered and the minimum amount should be 50mg. In case of solid materials (ceramics/geological materials), the samples should be prepared by the users (cutting/polishing/grinding). The maximum size, in case of solid materials, should be less than 1 cm X 2 cm in area and 0.5 cm in thickness.
