What you can order
Each service can be ordered on its own. Prices are per unit and fall with volume; see the calculator.
| Service | Input | Deliverable | Unit | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DNA extraction | Soil, stool, sediment, cultures | Purified DNA with QC values; pre‑labelled tubes and instructions included | per sample | |
| Amplicon sequencing | DNA or raw samples | 50'000 paired reads (PE300) per marker | per sample | |
| Shotgun metagenome | DNA or raw samples | 6 Gb per sample (PE150) | per sample | |
| Whole genome sequencing | Bacterial isolate | Draft genome at 100× coverage (PE150) | per isolate | |
| Quantitative PCR | DNA or raw samples | Copy numbers per target, to confirm sequencing results | per sample per target |
Which method to choose
Amplicon sequencing reads a marker gene shared by all species and identifies community members by matching each variant against reference databases. It is the workhorse of community analysis: cheap per sample, and reliable even with low‑biomass or degraded material.
Shotgun metagenomics sequences all DNA in a sample, the method for unknown organisms, functional questions and biohazard screening.
Whole genome sequencing rebuilds the complete genome of a single isolate, the basis for strain identification, safety assessment and biotechnology screening.
Short reads (PE150, PE300) are standard. Long reads (Oxford Nanopore, PacBio) resolve full‑length markers and strain‑level identity; available to enterprise customers, rolling out to all plans.

| Analysis | Question it answers |
|---|---|
| Quality control | Was the sequencing successful, and is the data usable? |
| Taxonomy | Which species are present, and in what proportions? |
| Functional genes | What can these organisms do? |
| Secondary metabolites | Which bioactive molecules can they produce? |
| Ecological preferences | Where do they thrive: predicted temperature, pH and oxygen optima |
| Biohazard screen | Are pathogens, antimicrobial resistance genes or virulence factors present? |
Minimum batch: samples for amplicon, for genome and metagenome, for qPCR.
