Fees

Disclaimers

Fees are reviewed semi-annually based upon the Harvard Fiscal Year (July 1 - June 30). Billing is performed on a monthly basis. The listed fees have been updated as of 02/01/2024.

The SCC does not offer a single charge per sample service. Due to the variety of services we offer and different project designs there is a lot of variation in price per project. Below are common examples.

Billing Form

Example

Example Project Fees:

Platforms/Assays	10X Genomics	Parse Biosciences	10X Visium
Project setup fee*	$1,035	$1,035	$1035
1 run with 8 samples and preparation of 8 gene expression libraries	$20,043	$15,126 (Barcoding upto 100,000 cells)	N/A
1 run with 8 samples and 8 gene expression libraries and 8 VDJ libraries	$22,657	$18,984 (Barcoding upto 100,000 cells)	N/A
1 multiome run with 8 samples and 8 gene expression libraries and 8 scATAC libraries	$34,747
1 standard Visium slide (4 sections) (no optimization)	N/A	N/A	$7,771

Note: These are all base-price, i.e. rates for Harvard-internal labs only. The price will be higher for the External academic labs and commercial lab.

The prices might change upon change in the experimental design or change in fee structure.

The prices only include reagent and SCC services, and do NOT include the sequencing or analysis cost.

*Setup fee is valid for 8 runs.

Attention: These fees do not include sequencing or analysis costs. The SCC does not provide these services, but can help you coordinate sequencing through some of our area cores.

Setup Fee

Project set up fee

Each project consists of a set-up fee to cover administrative services, consultation and advice, as well as follow up project support. Different experimental questions will be defined as separate projects for billing purposes. Projects are defined as up to 8 runs. Additional consultation fees may be added to those projects that require a higher level of advisor support. Users of using our 10x Chromium under our staff assisted model will also pay a setup fee.

Project set up fee	Internal Price	External Academic Price
Per Project	$1009	$1261

Training & Consultation

Single Cell Sequencing Self Service Training

Our base-rate for training is $232 per 2 hours of training. Researchers looking for training on learning how to operate the 10x Chromium or preparing libraries should get in touch with core staff for details.

Single Cell Sequencing Consultation (non-core users)

Researchers using single cell services at other facilities can reach out to the SCC for advice on sample preparation and experimental design. A consultation fee of $265 will apply for at most 2 consultation meetings.
