Run price for 454 ?

[aleferna]

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.

£7000-£9,000 UK pounds converts to $16,420-$21,150 US dollars according to Google...

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!

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

The numbers quoted above seem reasonable to me. (The pounds ones, not the dollar ones.)

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