1 Will allow analysis of a batch of 96 single source samples and/or complex mixtures but will likely require additional memory for larger batch sizes and some more complex functions (e.g. Review module).

2 Will allow analysis of a batch of 96 single source samples and/or complex mixtures and analysis interactions on groups of multi-selected peaks and/or samples simultaneously. May require additional memory for larger batch sizes (e.g. 200 plus samples) and complex functions with larger batch sizes (e.g. Review module with large projects).

3 Will comfortably allow analysis of a batch of 96 or more single source samples and/or complex mixtures and analysis interactions on groups of multi-selected peaks and/or samples simultaneously. May require additional memory for very large batch sizes (e.g. 300 plus samples) and complex functions with larger batch sizes (e.g. Review module with very large projects).

4 This is the space required for the application itself and does not include the space required for results of FaSTR™ DNA runs.

5 Provisions should be made to anticipate that storage space requirements will continue to increase over time as more analyses are stored.
