Sequence-Based Microorganism Identification Services
* * Brand New Service * *
Sequence-based
identification using the MicroSeq Microbial
Identification System (Applied Biosystems)
Please Note: We can
only accept bacterial and fungal DNA at this time.
NO LIVE
CULTURES
Turnaround Time:
Samples received by 10 a.m. will have results reported by noon the
next day. Samples received after 10 a.m. will be
reported out by noon the day after next.
This project was supported by Texas A&M AgriLife
, the Department of
Veterinary Pathobiology in the College of Veterinary Medicine,
and the Texas
Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory .
Services and Pricing
- 16S 500-bp Fragment Sequencing - $50.00
- Primary method of identification
- In most cases, 500-bp sequencing is sufficient to identify to
species-level
- Results within 24-hours of sample receipt
- 16S Full Gene Sequencing - $100.00
- Used to further resolve identity if 500-bp sequence yields
ambiguous results
- Can also be requested upfront (500-bp sequencing is not
required to be performed first)
- Fungal Sequencing - $50.00
- Sequences D2 region of the large-subunit (LSU) rRNA gene
- Results within 24-hours of sample receipt
- PrepMan Ultra Sample Preparation Reagent (1 mL
aliquot) - $15.00
- Sufficient to extract DNA from 10 samples
- Can be used on bacteria or fungi
