FlowSEQ®

Single Sequencer Calculator Guide

Understand multi-run distribution, cost structure, and how to read your results

Jump to section:

Prerequisites

The calculator can only produce accurate results if your lab is configured first. You need:

  • At least one sequencer added in My Lab → Sequencers tab
  • At least one cost profile created in My Lab → Cost Profiles tab
  • Flow cell prices updated in My Lab → Cost Library tab

What this guide covers

  • Why the flow cell choice determines your capacity ceiling
  • How multiple runs are triggered and how samples are distributed across them
  • Why cost per sample varies between runs (and how to use this to your advantage)
  • The 4 cost sections and what drives each one
  • How shared flow cell costs are allocated when mixing genome types
  • How to read every number in the results panel
