The ACPC provides comprehensive testing services to the agricultural industry. Here is the fee structure:

For fewer than 24 samples, there is a set-up fee of $250

For each sample, there is a cost of $80.00 for nucleic acid extraction, cDNA synthesis (reverse transcription), and PCR for internal control reactions. Additionally, there is a fee of $30.00 for each virus test conducted. For example, if a sample is tested for 10 viruses, the total cost would be $250 + $80 + ($30 * 10) = $630. If 10 samples are tested for 10 viruses, the cost would be $250 + [$80 + ($30 * 10)] * 10 = $4,050. If 40 samples are tested for 10 viruses, the total cost per sample would be [$80 + ($30 * 10)] * 40 = $15,200

ELISA tests are priced at $8.00 per sample per pathogen

For HTS testing using Illumina, the cost is $800 per sample run, which includes preparation, sequencing, bioinformatics analyses, and validation with an alternative technique in case of positive samples

For HTS testing using MinION, the cost is $500 per sample run, including preparation, sequencing, bioinformatics analyses, and validation with an alternative technique in case of positive samples

In the case of breeding accessions beyond the 15 covered by NCPN funded personnel and reagents, the cost is $4,000 per clean-up round for clean-up/testing and $1,500 per year for maintenance

A Controlled Import Permit is priced at $4,000 per cultivar/introduced. If virus elimination is required, there would be an additional cost of $2,000 per sample

The cost for a Virus Mimicking Artificial Positive Control (ViMAPC) is $4,000 when based on published primer sequences and $5,000 when primers are developed by ACPC personnel.
