Core DNA Sequencing Facility

The UIUC Core Facility utilizes two ABI 3730XL capillary sequencers to provide customers with the most sophisticated DNA sequencing technology to date. Two service options for DNA analysis are available and include consultation for any aspect of a sequencing project. For more information or to place an order, please go to our site at https://unicorn.biotec.uiuc.edu.

The UIUC Core Facility processes low-throughput (LT) and medium-throughput (MT) orders.   LT sequencing orders are defined as 1-95 sequencing reactions submitted at any one time.   MT orders are defined as 1-11 96-well plates of sequencing reactions submitted at any one time. If your project includes 12 or more plates of samples in a 3-month period, please see the High-Throughput Sequencing page for more information.

Customers are encouraged to discuss any problems or concerns with facility personnel, as our goal is to provide only the highest-quality sequencing data and support. For consultations, please contact Ms. Laura Guest, Senior Research Specialist, at lguest@uiuc.edu or 217-333-9520.
