Jacek,
Those figures will be dependent on how much your people are paid.
The labor cost is a major expense, because the chemical cost per cycle
is not really that high. The cLC takes a more labor to maintain the
procise. The columns are not as durable, HPLC solvents must be
changed weekly and the machine is more fussy about the quality of
chemical (essentially same chem. as procise, but impurities shows up a
big PTH peaks).
ABI should be able to give you a chart on their projected chemical
cost, but they may not hold true because of chemical waste. The major
expense is the labor involved in data inter., running and maintaining
the instrument. Don't know anything about the HP seq., nor your labor
cost.

Dear protein sequencing specialists,
Does any of you know per cycle cost (labor and cost of the instrument
excluded) of N-terminal protein sequencing using:
1. HP Protein sequencer
2. Procise
3. cLC Procise
What I need is comparison of per cycle costs for all the above instruments.
Any help will be gratly appreciated
