Economy Run

Best-in-Class Sanger sequencing service in 96-well plates for PCR products and plasmids. The Economy Run is available as a prepaid service (per plate pricing) as well as a non-prepaid service (per sample pricing). Furthermore there is a Economy Run Plus version which includes plasmid isolation from E. coli or PCR purification.

Additional Services
Following useful and complementary services can be purchased at a small extra charge1 to further upgrade Microsynth's Economy Run in the plate:
- On request isolated plasmids are sent back to customer's lab2
- Colony picking from agar plates into high throughput 96-well plates and generation of glycerol stocks
- Higher Scale plasmid isolation (Midi/Maxi) from selected clones on request
- Sequencing of large DNA constructs such as BACs, cosmids and fosmids
1 Complementary services can be chosen when placing a sequencing order at our online shop. You will receive an invoice covering the costs that are not included in the price for the prepaid barcode labels.
2 Condition: you send us high-copy plasmids. Only one antibiotic resistance can be used within the same plate.
