As the academic scientific platforms are overwhelmed by growing researchers interest and because of delays due to the covid-19, I’m looking for information about the price quoted by private sequencing services (as GATC, Mr DNA etc)? Which one offers the best price / performance ratio to perform bacterial 16S metabarcoding analysis?
Thanks
Hi Fred, hope you are fine,
I use Novogene and the cost is 35$ per sample for 16S (same price for ITS or 18S). I just send the DNA extracted and quantification values. No need to do anything else. We have samples running at the moment and there is no delay, or extra cost. The service is really good, good feedback on samples working or not post PCR and what to do next. I had no issues over the years I used Novogene.
I did not use Mr DNA in years, but the price per sample is related to the total number of samples. So, it is not a fixed price per sample. I would expect to be higher than Novogene. Otherwise, I had no issue when using Mr DNA.
Cheers,
Aimeric
