Cost depends on your sequencing volume, the size of your genomic data footprint, the number of instrument and LIS/LIMS interfaces, and your compliance scope across CLIA, CAP, and NY CLEP. Because NGS storage and bioinformatics compute can dominate the budget, we right-size infrastructure and blend on-premise and cloud so you pay for the capacity your run volume actually needs. Most labs prefer a predictable monthly managed-IT model that bundles support, security, backup, and compliance rather than unpredictable break-fix billing. We start with an assessment of your instruments, pipelines, data volumes, and accreditation requirements before quoting. That way you get pricing matched to a molecular lab, not a generic clinic.
