Thanks Bryan,
-- I just sent them a mail yesterday, their reply below:
It's still not all clear to me how long the cells last and how many times you can use them, still a newbie to this. Can I run say, a plant sample one day, then the next day a yeast sample, and so on... Or is it just for human DNA ? And how many days i can run alternating samples like this ? And is it for targeted sequencing ? then where do i get the primers ? Or the cell just reads everything we throw at it ? Replacement cells are not cheap based on the prices on their web site.
I would like to figure out how much it would cost me per year if say, i run 3-4 samples per month...
"How many samples you can run per for cell depends on your target region of interest/genome size and the depth of coverage you are looking to achieve per sample. On the newest R9.4 chemistry you can generate as much as 10 Gb of 1D data per flow cell, so you could use this as a starting point for your calculation. Although we ask that flow cells be returned after 8 weeks from receipt, bulk orders can be "drawn" upon as needed - meaning that if you purchase 12 flow cells for example, you can schedule actual deliveries as needed for your experiments. This means that your remaining flow cells will automatically be updated to the latest chemistry as we continue to improve our pores, membranes and hardware."

We just got a MinION at our biohacker space. The starter package is $1000. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet though.
