Virtual Sequencing Credits to Use With SimpleSeq

FlexReads are prepaid credits used for refilling SimpleSeq kits. They are very similar to the prepaid reactions that come with a SimpleSeq kits, only FlexReads are universal. Meaning, FlexReads can be used with any SimpleSeq kit, while SimpleSeq reactions can only be used with the kit itself. FlexReads solve the problem of leftover SimpleSeq tubes. For instance, if a SimpleSeq users submits multiple reactions per tube, they will exhausted all reactions before their tubes run out. This leaves leftover tubes. Customers asked us to come up with a solution so they could continue using these leftover tubes, and we listened.

  • FlexReads can be used with any exhausted SimpleSeq kit on your account.
  • FlexPacks can be pre-purchased at any time to stock up on FlexReads. 
  • The system will automatically apply FlexReads when trying to submit a SimpleSeq barcode from an exhausted kit. If you prepurchased FlexPacks, then the system will pull from your existing inventory of FlexReads and the price will be zero. If not, the system will automatically calculate how many reactions you need and add an equivalent number of FlexReads to the cart to cover the deficit. The price of the FlexRead will be visible in the cart.

Example:

A customer wishes to submit an order of 10 SimpleSeq tubes with 10 reactions.  However, they only have 10 SimpleSeq tubes and 5 reactions left on the kit.  5 FlexReads are added to the cart automatically, or pulled from the account if available, to fill in the difference.

FAQs

FlexPacks are packages of FlexReads. These virtual reactions can be purchased prior to placing a sequencing order and can be redeemed when you order the sequencing services using barcoded SimpleSeq tubes. The number of purchased FlexPacks will appear on your sequencing dashboard.

If I can use FlexReads to pay for the excess reactions without any 'activation', why do I need FlexPacks?

The presence of FlexPacks in the sequencing dashboard will allow you or a member of your team to checkout orders without having to make a payment. As long as there are sufficient redeemable FlexReads, you can order sequencing services without having to make any payment for the same. Such an arrangement allows you handle your budget more efficiently.

FlexReads are designed to compliment SimpleSeq. The process is incredibly easy just like SimpleSeq. The system automatically pulls from the FlexReads on your account when a kit is exhausted, or adds the required number of FlexReads to cover the order if none are available. You do not have to do anything. Simply submit the leftover SimpleSeq tubes as you normally would, and Eurofins takes care of the rest!

FlexReads Make SimpleSeq Even Simpler

Customers love the convenience and value SimpleSeq but usually have leftover tubes after having exhausting all 96 reactions in the kit. FlexReads solve that problem. Think of them as refilling your kit. FlexReads are great because of their flexibility. The reactions are not tied to any particular kit, so you can stock up on them while retaining the freedom to use the reactions on any kit later. Also, FlexReads are better for the environment. Instead of throwing away leftover tubes or stockpiling kits simply for the reactions, you can order one kit and refill it until all tubes are exhausted.

Step by Step Directions

  1. First, purchase a FlexPack.
  2. The reactions will be automatically added to your account upon purchase. You can verify this on the Sequencing Dashboard page, which shows the total number of reactions available on your account
  3. Submit your leftover SimpleSeq tubes as normal. No additional steps are required.

Testimonials

“It was good and convenient service. The sequencing results were great. I could just drop off the samples in the same building where I work. The results were very fast also, only one day." ★★★★★”

“Your sequencing reactions were perhaps the turning point in my work. Obtaining such good quality reads is rare. I have submitted many samples but this is was the best, we should explore all variable associated with the success to make it reproducible, quality, quantity of DNA to reagents used at Eurofins.”

“I've already strongly recommended Eurofins Genomics to a colleague in my department and they are now using the sequencing service. I was amazed at the turnaround time for prepaid plates and the quality far exceeds anything I've received from our in-house core facility. The quality and speed of the service combined with the price for the pre-paid plates has completely changed my lab's sequencing routine for the better.”

“I am consistently surprised and pleased with how quickly you can provide sequencing data! I dropped my samples off late last evening at my local dropbox and my results were waiting in my inbox when I arrived at work this morning! My PI and I were just joking that we make a comment every time about how the results come so quickly. Maybe we just aren't used to such good customer service. Great job.”

“Sequencing is getting done faster than before, with same high quality. The sequencing quality has been constantly superior and I have been able to download the data at 8-9am the second day. Also customer service reps are extremely helpful and professional. Thanks!”

“We got the sequences back and are quite happy with the quality. One of the orders had amplicons that we have been sequencing routinely for many years and quality from Eurofins seems to be better. Also, our overall experience with Eurofins website, sample submission, email notifications and sequencing results was positive and user friendly. We are looking forward to sequencing with Eurofins.”
