Comments
Retrogen prices are completive and they offer quite a wide range of sequencing related services with a excellent turn around time (< 24 hours). Retrogen also has a free pick up service for customers in the San Diego Area. Worth considering if you are in Southern California, especially if you need FDA quality sequencing performed.
