How many samples can I load into the BeadStudio v2.3.41 Genotyping Module?
The number of samples you can load depends on many factors, including but not limited to the following: type of storage selected, amount of physical memory on the PC, whether other programs are running. File-based storage is the default storage configuration for the BeadStudio Genotyping Module. This allows you to load many more samples than memory-based storage. Using memory-based storage can result in better performance if sufficient physical memory is available. For a computer with 2GB of physical memory, approximately 200 samples of SNP data from the HumanHap300 Genotyping BeadChip can be loaded using memory-based storage. For SNP data from the HumanHap550 Genotyping BeadChip, approximately 150 samples can be loaded using memory-based storage.
