Note:

aTesting charges need to be deposited in the office of FQCL only. If other institutions including TU need NABL certificate, then charges will be applicable as per industry rate.

bThe charge will be applicable only when all parameters of proximate analysis are analyzed.

cSample should be prepared as per standard protocol and filtered through 0.2µm membrane filter paper before submitting for analysis.

# Charges for one sample profiling and identification of one peak. For identification of additional peaks, Rs 50.00 will be charged extra per peak.

v  Payment to be made in favour of “Tezpur University” payable at Tezpur.
