How does ChemCORE estimate cost?
• A typical screen consists of three types of costs: (1) personnel, (2) supplies/reagents and (3) equipment usage. As discussed above, all cost will be pre-approved by customers prior to action. During assay development/implementation stage: ChemCORE charges $35/hr/FTE (personnel) and $35/hr for any one or a combination of equipment usage time. The reagents and supplies are charged based on the cost. See Service Costs. During screen, ChemCORE charges $75/hr/FTE and $75/hr for any one or a combination of equipment usage time. The reagents and supplies are charged based on the cost. See Service Costs. • For all screens performed so far, the cost performed in ChemCORE is similar to or lower than what would cost if the assays were performed manually by customer labs. The special benefits for robotics-aided screen are better throughput, data quality and cost saving.
