Table 3. Comparison of cost and throughput of the methods.

	Cost per sample	Throughput/day/machine
dHPLC	157 cents	192
MassARRAY™	100 cents	40 000
SNaPshot™	87 cents	7000^a
		1500^b

The calculations include genotyping reagents and primers (on the basis of 100 reactions per primer), plastic consumables and the cost of running the assay on the detection platform. Salary costs are not included. PCR costs are not included, as they are the same for the three methods.

^aWith a 96 capillary system (ABI37000).

^bWith a 16 capillary system (ABI3100).
