Has anyone bought a service contract on either Miseq or Hiseq1000 yet? If so, what was the cost? I have projected the usual 10% of acquisition cost.
Thanks for any info.

Hi Hilary,
Our service contract for the MiSeq costs ~$15K/year if I remember correctly.
We're still within our first year of coverage, but our anniversary date is in April so I know we're planning now to make sure we remain covered.
Given all the problems we had with the MiSeq, combined with the RTA issue and now the bad kits, it's well worth it our minds.

Yup. If you have more questions about it, we can talk directly over email.Originally posted by HMorrison
UConn sent its HiSeq to Perkin Elmer so I have no information on that system.Comment

Would it not be best to have this conversation privately with the sales person
With software maintenance contracts costs are standard but with hardware maintenance contracts several "other" factors may come into play.Comment

For those of you that have purchased a SC with Illumina, did you negoitiate a multiyear deal (with an associated discount)? And if so, does illumina follow the industry standard of permitting one to committ to the multiyear contract, but pay year-by-year?Comment

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM -
Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...04-04-2024, 04:25 PM
