Pricing

We operate on a non-for-profit basis. Our prices cover the costs for labor and materials and overheads for general costs. For each of our services and products labor and material has been calculated and the resulting costs have been approved by a LUMC accountant. Prices can be subject to change and will be adjusted when necessary. Note: Until further notice we are unable to provide products and services for commercial customers.
