ngs cost estimate
Corless said Knight Diagnostic Laboratories spent at least $500,000 in start-up costs for the new technology. NGS platforms can be obtained for a lot less todayâaround $100,000 to $150,000âbut thatâs still a hefty price that many labs canât afford. Patients, too, can face higher costs when a clinician orders a diagnostic test that uses NGS, but that is not always the case.
