Long Read FAQ
What sample types can I submit for Long-Read sequencing?
We accept DNA from plasmids, amplicons, whole genomes, and CRISPR-edited samples. Detailed submission guidelines are provided for each sample type.
How much DNA/RNA is required for each sample?
Requirements vary by sub-service. You can find the recommended concentration and volume in the instructions for plasmid, amplicon, genome, or CRISPR sequencing or by checking our guide.
What is the typical turnaround time for Long-Read projects?
Most projects are completed within 7 days after sample submission, depending on the service and the number of samples. For routine sequencing of plasmids and amplicons, results are typically delivered within 24–48 hours.
Can I submit multiple samples in one batch?
Yes! Our system supports batch submissions. Each sample must be labeled properly using dedicated or floating labels.
How will I receive my sequencing results?
You will be notified by email and can access a complete report in your dedicated folder, including quality control metrics, raw data, and analysis-ready files. Bioinformatics support is available for downstream analysis if needed.
