What is the throughput of the OpenArray™ platform?

Throughput depends on a variety of factors, including the thermal cycler used, instrumentation for adding samples to master mix, and how many individuals are performing the process. For example, a single, full-time employee can set up, load, cycle, and image 32 OpenArray™ plates in a single day using a single OpenArray™ AutoLoader, NT Imager, and Bio-Rad slide tower thermal cycler. This amounts to approximately 98,000 TaqMan® genotyping reactions in a single day.
