Any idea of whats the usual price for a run on a 454?

Depends on number of samples (also WGS or paired-end) but 2 samples and 1 run would probably cost you between about £7000-£9,000 UK pounds or $7000-$9000 US dollars. -

Yeah, I probably didn't make myself clear. In the UK we are used to paying a pretty standard conversion of £1 = $1 for anything electronic or technical. So a camera costing $599 in the US will probably cost £599. Various discussions with Americans about sequencing leads me to conclude we are equally screwed when it comes to the cost of sequencing!Comment

So anyway, what do you pay for a plate of 454, out of interest?Comment

The numbers quoted above seem reasonable to me. (The pounds ones, not the dollar ones.)Originally posted by nickloman View Post

I paid about 11500 US dollars (for two samples/one run, GS FLX, Titanium) four months ago.Comment

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 -
Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...03-22-2024, 06:39 AM
