Comments
Microsynth offer a somewhat confusing range of different sequencing service, but look to offer a very high quality service, but I suspect an expensive service. Unfortunately you must register to find out the prices of their services. Worth considering if you have a need for ISO level DNA sequencing or have unusual requirements.
