Are there any commercial providers of SOLiD 4 sequencing? Roughly how much do they cost? (I don't want to buy a machine, just get a sequencing run done on one.)

I heard SOLiD 4's release was delayed so you will likely only find 3plus commercial providers. -
Oh, it's not even available, yet? Thanks.Comment

We've ordered it but haven't gotten it yet.
EZ Bead is also delayed.
The SOLiD 4hq won't be out til fall. That one is expensive since they swap out the optics.Comment

I heard that will be commercial in China BIG at JuneOriginally posted by throwaway View PostComment

i wouldn't say delayed as they never gave a ship date, but we are supposedly going to have it running before June.Comment

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.
Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...06-18-2026, 07:11 AM -
Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
