Which kind of services does Eurofins offer on the Oxford Nanopore instruments?
- Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) of small genome
- Full-length 16S sequencing
- Amplicon sequencing
- Whole plasmid sequencing
Can I send already fragmented DNA?
No this is not recommended. Optimal results can be achieved when the fragmentation is done directly before the library preparation. We recommend to send unfragmented HMW DNA, as large as possible.
How should I send my samples?
- Please use 1.5 ml safe-lock tubes for your templates and primers
- Do not tape or wrap tubes with parafilm. Safe-lock tubes offer perfect sealing and evaporation protection
- Label your template with our free NGS barcode labels.
If you send more than 92 samples then you can also sent the samples in plates. Please use full skirted PCR plates (e.g. Eppendorf or Twin).
For more information and for sample submission for extraction please read our Sample Submission Guide.
