[Annelida] Measuring caloric content

One of my students needs to measure the caloric content of adult tissue 
and eggs.  He wants to use a bomb calorimeter, but has been unable to 
find an appropriate instrument - something like a Parr semi-micro 
calorimeter.  Does anybody know of either (1) a company or contract lab 
that does these analyses or (2) alternative methods of measuring caloric 
content that don't require such expensive instruments?  Thanks in 
advance for any leads.
