Contact Us
All nanopore data are checked by humans at our facility!

Nanopore deadline

We pick up samples from several buildings at 11:30AM. 


However -- if you miss that pickup -- please drop off your Nanopore samples directly to 310 Barker by 2PM to make today's run.


Rapid barcoding runs done every day!

Check out the services tab at the top of the page

Got questions? 

Just send us an email!  

We are here to assist you with your sequencing and other DNA related experiments.

Do you want to publish your work? If so, check your cells!

Cell Line Authentication (STR analysis)

Send us an aliquot of ~1-2 million cells -- and we do the rest.

Lyse, amplify, analyze, qualify, and return the results!


Why waste time, energy, money and effort doing experiments with questionable / unvalidated cells?


Short Tandem Repeat analysis is the standard method for qualifying your cells.


Runs start every Thursday.

Do you want more coverage, longer reads, and want it fast?

We do daily nanopore sequencing!

You provide a colony pick (6pm the day prior), plasmid, amplicon, etc... and we do the rest
