      <title>Cost and quality of in house or outsourced sequencing?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[When is it cost effective to start doing your own sequencing rather than sending samples out to be sequenced? We'd need to purchase hardware, software, reagents and hire a technician. How many sequences would we need to run to have this upfront cost pay for itself? Or are there labs already set up which aren't using their sequencing facilities to full capacity and would like to split resources? How would be find them?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi Paola

I don't know of any sequencing facilities in South America, so I would suggest using any of the facilities in the USA that are shown in red on the main sequencing facility review pages. These are customers of ours that are using LongTrace or PeakTrace and that I know generate good quality data - speed is not much help if what you get back is not good quality :)]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hello, 
I have 20 PCR products (about 600 pb) to be purified and sequenced. I live in Chile, southamerica, and I want to know What is the cheapest and rapid place to get sequencing?
thanks

      <description><![CDATA[Not a problem rgrant :)

There are quite a few that are quite low cost facilities if you want to send ready-to-run samples. Probably the cheapest is UCLA Core Facility at $150 for a 96 well tray which is only a $1.56 a trace. Have a look through the reviews we have done (www.nucleics.com/DNA_sequencing_support/sequencing-service-reviews.html) if you haven't already.

Cheers]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Thanks for your help Daniel. I want to do my own reactions and I have around 300 samples that I want to sequence. Is that enough information?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This really depends on what services you want and how many samples that you want to process at a time. Some sequencing facilities are very cheap if you send in a minimum of 96 samples in a tray, while others are much better for only a few samples. 

The other major area that can make quite a difference in price is if you want to do your own reactions or not. can you provide more information of what you want?]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Yes. Preference will be given to those facilities that help us gather all the information we need. So if you want to jump to the top of the queue send us an email with ALL of the following information:

1. Facility history along with a general overview.
2. The DNA sequencing instruments used.
3. The sequencing services offered along with their prices.
4. DNA template requirements (concentrations, amounts, etc).
5. Turn around time.
6. If GLP/FDA level sequencing is offered.
7. Contact address.
8. Other DNA sequencing related service your facility offers.
9. Anything else you think we should know that would help a potential customer.]]></description>

      <title>When will all the sequencing facility reviews be finished?</title>

      <description><![CDATA[We get ask this question quite a bit, especially by facilities on the main list but who are yet to be reviewed. 

The simply answer is we don't know. Each review takes around 30 minutes to an hour, with nearly 150 facilities to review it is a big job. Our aim is to do at least two reviews a week - given that there are still a hundred to do the most likely answer is around a year.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This is a question we often get asked (it is one of the reasons we started doing the reviews). It is basically an impossible question to answer as it depends on you needs and location. The best way to approach the question is deciding what are your essential requirements, eliminating all the facilities that don't fit, then selecting on price, and then on distance from you.

If you would like advice post what your essential requirements are in this forum and we will try to provide you with a list of five facilities that meet these requirements.]]></description>
