Pricing: The cost of each SNP assays is $0.30 plus the cost of the ABI probes. The cost of the ABI probes should be around $0.50 per sample.  There are several options regarding the ordering of the TaqMan probes from ABI. Probes can be ordered from ABI’s extensive list of pre-designed probes (Assays-By-Design) or ABI can design and test probes (Assays-On-Demand) if your SNP is not included in this list. A third option is to design and order the probes yourself. Each method has associated benefits and costs.

See the ABI home page for more information

Sample Requirements: We need 3 ul of genomic DNA (10 ng/ul) for each SNP you wish to have assayed.
