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.

UConn sent its HiSeq to Perkin Elmer so I have no information on that system.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

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
