Comparison of NGS-Platform Manufacturers

Question

[Phil S.]

Hi there,

does anyone of you guys know a source for a comprehensive comparison of today's sequencer manufacturers. What I have in mind is some kind of table with facts about: costs, read length, depth, error-rates, run-time etc...

Any guidance is highly appreciated...

Best

Phil

very useful info.

Where did the ball park figure for the GridIon system come from in that table? I haven't seen anything on pricing for Oxford Nanopore other than an estimate of around $900 for the MinION system and that the GridION would have several pricing schemes available.

Few days back I was going through this paper to get an idea.
