Right. But at present, it isn't inexpensive enough to use for hundreds or thousands of samples. 

examples:

Genome Project Solutions
Hercules California
Starting at $110.00 USD per hour

IBEST Genomics Resources Core
University of Idaho
Illumina BeadXpress plate (processing 2 plates at a time) 48-384 SNPs per sample
Starting at $444.87 USD per sample

Sequenom SNP Genotyping Facility
Boston Massachusetts
384-well Plate Genotyped: $1,700.00/plate
if your project has 600 samples and 75 SNPs falling into 3 multiplex pools, the cost of the project will be as outlined below:
2 384-well plates x 3 pools : $1,700.00 x 6 plates = $10,200.00
Oligos (75 SNPs): $20.00 x 75 SNPs = $1,500.00
Total: $11,700.00
