High-quality sequencing services

We offer access to fast, high-quality next-generation sequencing (NGS) services such as whole-genome sequencing services. If your lab doesn’t currently have a wide array of sequencing instruments and NGS expertise, you may wish to consider outsourcing your genome sequencing projects.

With our sequencing services, you’ll benefit from short turnaround times with access to high-throughput instruments, library prep options, and bioinformatics capabilities.

Benefits of sequencing services

Many scientists see value in outsourcing their NGS projects to a best-in-class service provider. Using an expert sequencing service provider allows scientists to try out NGS, perform challenging applications that require expert guidance, or scale up sequencing without having to invest in purchasing instruments and hiring staff.

Our NGS service offerings and expertise

We offer a suite of sequencing services to help you achieve your objectives.* Our NGS service offerings range from whole-genome sequencing services to oncology, noninvasive prenatal testing services, and more. We have years of experience with proven Illumina sequencing technology and production, and offer extensive support with dedicated experts throughout a project. If you'd like to learn more about our services, talk to your sales representative or contact us if you have questions.

*Illumina NGS services are only available in certain regions.

Our sequencing technology

Illumina sequencing technology, known as sequencing by synthesis (SBS), uses fluorescently labeled reversible terminators to detect bases as they’re incorporated into growing DNA strands.

Other sequencing service providers

If you’re looking for NGS services not offered by Illumina, such as RNA-Seq or metagenomics services, or you want to find a service lab near you, we can help connect you with recommended labs (contact us using the form at the end of this page). These labs demonstrate adherence to the high standard of Illumina technology, offering peace of mind and confidence in the sequencing service provider you choose to support your projects.
