The HPLC analysis of one sample costs around $100 in El Salvador, Central America. The average BE study has 1200 samples. That means $120,000 in chemical analysis alone. How does a BE lab charge $65,000 for the study of Carvedilol in Mass spectrophotometer? |

Dear Eduardo! ❝ The HPLC analysis of one sample costs around $100 in El Salvador, Central ❝ America. The average BE study has 1200 samples. That means $120,000 in ❝ chemical analysis alone. IMHO $100 for an HPLC sample is just ridiculous! In Europe I would consider $20 - $40 (calculated on an exchange rate of EUR->USD of 1.25) per sample in a GLP-certified lab reasonable (depending on the method)... ❝ How does a BE lab charge $65,000 for the study of ❝ Carvedilol in Mass spectrophotometer? Why not? This means $54/sample, which is not unrealistic; I know some MS-labs calculating prices as low as $45/sample (including method development and validation). Maybe you should consider changing your CRO - or at least ship the samples for analysis to a more economically priced site...  — Dif-tor heh smusma 🖖🏼 Довге життя Україна! ![[image]](https://static.bebac.at/pics/Blue_and_yellow_ribbon_UA.png) Helmut Schütz ![[image]](https://static.bebac.at/img/CC by.png) The quality of responses received is directly proportional to the quality of the question asked. 🚮 Science Quotes |

Yes, but since the forum is noncommercial in nature, I will not publish the name of CROs in the forum...
