Run price for 454 ?

[MLog]

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

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.)

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!

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...
