Billing Scheme
Effective July first 2018, the rates for services of the X-Ray Diffraction Facility will be as follows:
| MIT Chemistry Department | Other MIT customers | Other non-profit customers | For-profit customers | |
| Data Collection | $390 | $390 | $675 | $1000 |
| Structure Determination | $350 | $350 | $608 | ask for details |
| Examination | $195 | $189 | $338 | $400 |
| Unit Cell Determination | $98 | $98 | $161 | $200 |
| Powder Diffractogram | $98 | $98 | $168 | $200 |
A "Unit Cell Determination" is any diffraction experiment during which between 5 and 60 frames (100 frames for Cu radiation) are collected. If more than 60 frames (100 for Cu radiation) are collected, another price category applies.
An "Examination" is any diffraction experiment during which between 60 and 400 frames for Mo radiation or between 100 and 600 frames for Cu radiation are collected. A project that results in collection of fewer frames than the specifed number is billed as "Unit Cell Determination". If more than 400 frames for Mo or 600 frames for Cu radiation are collected, the project will be billed as "Data Collection".
Free of charge for members of the MIT community are assistance with structure solution or refinement, training, consultations etc.
