These rates are effective in the state of Michigan. The Michigan Animal Model Consortium is one of the core services of the Core Technology Alliance (CTA) Corporation, a not-for-profit organization partially subsidized by grant funding from the state of Michigan 21st Century Jobs Fund. Out-of-state clients will have a surcharge as follows: an academic or nonprofit organization has a 50% surcharge and a for-profit organization has a 100% surcharge added to the rates listed above.

*When a SKY project is complex, breakpoint analysis will not be included due to the additional amount of time it takes to analyze and report. An additional cost of $250/cell line will be charged upon request for the additional time it takes for breakpoint analysis; the requester should keep in mind that not all breakpoints are identifiable in complex cell lines.
