Plasmid Verification Services

Confirm your plasmid constructs faster, more accurately and more affordably than ever before. Small and large constructs can now have the entire plasmid sequence done in a matter of days instead of weeks, without the hassle of having to design and synthesize primers. Eurofins uses a customized next-generation sequencing process to exceed the limitations, accuracy, and sensitivity of primer walking projects using Sanger sequencing techniques. Our quality-focused process uses unique molecular barcodes assigned to each sample to assure proper sample identification.  Our bio-informatics pipeline provides accurate data assembly compared to a reference sequence, variant calling, and allele frequencies.

Benefits

• Fast TAT compared to traditional primer walking techniques
• Lower cost than traditional primer walking techniques
• Verification of the entire vector sequence
• Verify large plasmid constructs and large number of samples without impacting turnaround time.
• No designing or purchasing of sequencing primers
• Sequence assembly provided
• Comprehensive report with variations from reference sequence and allele frequencies.

Service Details

• DNA only. Please provide 200ng in 20ul.
• Reference sequence for plasmid and construct required.

Submission / Shipping Guidelines

• Send samples in 96-well full skirted or semi-skirted PCR plates.
• Ensure that your plate is tightly sealed to prevent sample cross-contamination. Avoidance of cross-contamination is essential.  NGS will identify sequences in very low quantities.  We recommend using heat seals or well-fitting strip caps.
• Include a hard copy of the submission form with your samples.
• Ship samples overnight. The address will be found in the submission form.
• Send electronic copy of the submission form and reference sequence file to GenomicsSupport@eurofins.com. Also include a copy of the quote and payment information. Missing information may delay your project
