External customers
Sequencing: We offer two options.听
- Full service 鈥 you provide purified PCR products and PCR primers, we do the rest 鈥 $15 per sample.
- Capillary separation only 鈥 you provided purified sequencing products, we do the rest 鈥 $10 per sample.
Genotyping
- Capillary separation only - you supply the internal size standard, you prepare the plate, and we take care of the rest - $10 per sample.
There is a 16-sample minimum. If you submit fewer than 16 samples they will not be processed until we have obtained additional samples from other clients.
Email us on听dnaseq@exchange.canterbury.ac.nz听to make a booking. Once you have a booking, download the relevant request form and email it to us, as well as including a hard copy with your samples. 听Turnaround time is usually 24 hours.

Sample preparation
For full sequencing service we require purified PCR products and PCR primers.
- PCR products must be free of residual salts, chelating agents (eg, EDTA), proteins, solvents, and buffers. Several PCR purification methods are available. Please choose the product that best suits your needs.
- PCR products must be quantified prior to shipment (by eye, Nanodrop, etc). Please provide concentrations in ng/碌l.
- Please provide PCR primer(s) at a concentration of 3.2 碌M.
For capillary separation only service we require: purified sequencing products
- Sequencing products must be free of unincorporated fluorescent nucleotides. Several sequencing purification methods are available. Please choose the product that best suits your needs.

Genotyping service
If you require an internal size standard, we offer GeneScan 500 LIZ for microsatellite genotyping and MapMarker 1000 ROX for AFLP genotyping.
Please contact us for advice regarding plate preparation.
