Illumina Sequencing Service
Overview
At Microsynth, we combine deep technical expertise with advanced sequencing technologies, primarily leveraging Illumina and Oxford Nanopore platforms, to deliver tailored, high-quality NGS solutions.
Microsynth adopted short-read high-throughput sequencing technology (454) and then Illumina early on and has accumulated over 17 years of experience, supporting a broad range of applications—from DNA/RNA isolation to advanced bioinformatics analysis.
We offer two distinct Illumina service categories to meet your research needs:
- Core Illumina Services – Predefined, off-the-shelf solutions with a strong price-performance ratio. These services with optional add-ons include clearly defined specifications, turnaround times (TAT), and pricing.
- Custom Illumina Services – Tailored solutions designed to meet your specific requirements. A personalized quote is provided to define service specifications, TAT, and pricing before ordering via our webshop.
Our team of experts ensures that every step—from sample preparation to data analysis—meets the highest quality standards. With a strong focus on fast turnaround times, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer support, we are committed to delivering reliable results that drive your research forward.
