A core component of PulseNet International is the ability to compare genotyping results produced in different laboratories. This is facilitated by using normalising electrophoresis gels against a common standard, and the use of the same names for database fields. PulseNet certified laboratories should contact their regional coordinator for PulseNet standardised databases including script customisations.

The costs for setting up a BioNumerics Online Server and Regional/National Database includes, but are not limited to, the servers and workstations, as well as the operating systems and the BioNumerics server and client software. The hardware costs will depend on current market prices, specifications and the manufacturer of the hardware. The software costs will depend on the BioNumerics version and the number of licenses needed.
The BioNumerics Online Server will need to be accessible to the BioNumerics clients via the Internet. Therefore, internet connectivity costs should be taken into consideration when planning costs.
The PulseNet standard configuration of BioNumerics includes the following modules:
The Sequence Types module is not required for analysis of PFGE data, and all basic PulseNet functions can be performed without the Identification and Libraries module, however, for some functions only slowly and manually.
Please note that one person may be able to perform more than one of the tasks mentioned below.
The costs are associated with compensation for database managers, supervisors, QA/QC manager and network administration/engineer support.
For further information please contact: The PulseNet International coordinator
