PRICE POLICY

At least 44% below analysis-only market references

We normalized publicly listed analysis-only prices for equivalent scopes and set IAS starting prices at no more than 56% of those market references. Specimen handling, image acquisition, mass-spectrometry measurement, spatial-omics data generation, library preparation, and sequencing are excluded from both the price and service scope.

IAS contract data-analysis reference prices

The market references use pre-tax public prices rechecked on July 25, 2026. Every displayed amount is a pre-tax starting price per specimen. Provider names and external price pages are intentionally omitted from the public page. A formal quote depends on input quality, data volume, accepted specimen count, study design, and deliverables.

  • Das Basismenü wird aus JPY, das räumliche Festpreispaket aus seiner veröffentlichten USD-Basis umgerechnet. Grundlage sind die EZB-Referenzkurse vom 17. Juli 2026; die Vertragswährung wird im verbindlichen Angebot bestätigt.
  • Every displayed amount is per specimen. Formal pricing starts from the per-specimen rate multiplied by the accepted specimen count and assumes a common batch or standard comparison project. Biological replicates are required for comparative analysis.
  • Foreign-currency source prices were normalized using the ECB reference rates published on July 17, 2026 and rounded before applying 56%.
  • Tax, external licenses, specialist databases, media, extended storage, and out-of-scope reanalysis are separate.

Conditions for the 56% comparison

  1. The comparison quote must cover data analysis only, without specimen handling or sequencing
  2. Input format, data volume, samples, references, and analysis steps must be equivalent
  3. Deliverables, turnaround, storage, and security terms must be equivalent
  4. For a reference outside the standard menu, an equivalent analysis specification or quote must be reviewable; unrelated confidential fields may be redacted

Frequently asked questions

Can I send a specimen and request data generation?

No. LifeAnalytics currently provides analysis of existing data. Extraction, library preparation, sequencing, microscopy acquisition, mass-spectrometry measurement, and spatial-omics data generation are outside scope.

Why is the reference price not a fixed public fee?

Standard menus start at no more than 56% of a comparable public analysis-only price. Data volume, quality, sample design, analysis steps, and deliverables still change the workload, so we provide a formal quote after preflight review.

Which formats can I discuss?

FASTQ, BAM/CRAM, VCF, H5AD, count matrices, CSV/TSV, TIFF, OME-TIFF, OME-Zarr or CZI 2D/3D images, Cell Painting images, analysis-ready ImageStream or equivalent data, PDB/mmCIF/SDF/MOL2 molecular structures, mzML or peptide/protein intensity tables, spatial coordinates, and tissue images can be reviewed. Feasibility depends on the objective, quality, and available references.

Can you analyze Cell Painting and 3D microscopy images?

Yes. For existing multichannel Cell Painting images, we can provide segmentation, morphology profiling, normalization, batch-effect review, and phenotype comparison. For Z-stacks and other 3D images, we support 3D segmentation, volume, surface, shape, distance, colocalization, and 3D visualization. Image acquisition is excluded; plate maps, voxel size, channel metadata, and data volume are reviewed before a project quote.

Can you analyze imaging flow cytometry and molecular structures?

Yes. For existing imaging flow cytometry data, we support focus and singlet QC, gating, morphology, intensity, localization, colocalization, and translocation analysis. For PDB/mmCIF and related structures, we review structure QC, superposition, pockets, residue contacts, and molecular interactions. Data acquisition and experimental structure determination are excluded.

What is the turnaround time?

It depends on data volume, samples, workflow, and QC. The quote states prerequisites and an estimated turnaround after preflight.

Can you analyze clinical data?

This service is research-use-only. Data that do not satisfy privacy, ethics, contract, pseudonymization, and storage requirements cannot be accepted. We do not make diagnostic or treatment decisions.

Start with the data format and research objective

A comparison quote is not required for the first discussion. Share the format, sample count, objective, and expected outputs.
