How much does it cost to run GreenScreen?
The true cost of any assay involves consideration of a number of elements (labour, consumables, reagents, instrument depreciation and overheads). The cost of GreenScreen reagents is governed by a price-volume matrix taking account of the volume and frequency of use. This matrix accommodates for the various stages of the drug discovery process where GreenScreen can be used e.g. ‘hits to lead’ screening, lead optimisation screening or pre-regulatory lead candidate screening. For low numbers of compounds, the cost is 250 GBP per compound using kit reagents, 750 GBP for contract testing outsourced to Gentronix. We are happy to provide a quotation based on your estimated annual usage, please contact us. You will find that GreenScreen is indeed very cost-effective and here are a few comments on the other costs involved in running the assay: Labour – Approximately one third of a full time employee’s time is required to manually set up, read, and report 20 compounds per day, although this thro
