Services/Pricing (Download PDF)
Note: Renovation and holiday closure of the IMR from Dec.14th-Jan.5th (inclusive) - last date for sample reception Friday Dec.13th.
NEW pricing effective for all samples submitted after June 28th, 2024. Pricing tiers have been simplified; increases have been applied for the first time since 2019 due to higher costs and overhead charges.
NEW MiSeq i100 sequencer arrived Dec.2024 with XLEAP chemistry, therefore amplicon services will be upgraded shortly to reflect high quality+output of the new machine (original MiSeqs will be retired).
Note: MGS+MTS pricing on the NextSeq2000 has been reduced due to the new XLEAP chemistry.
Note: All prices listed are in Canadian Dollars (CAD). GST/HST will be added to all Canadian orders. A fee of $25/shipment to cover Customs costs will be added to all international orders.

Notes/Details
1. One control well is required per 96-well PCR library plate, hence a maximum of 4x95=380 samples can be done together on one MiSeq run (190 for a 2X run) or 2x95=190 samples on a Sequel2 run (95 for a 2X run). Any batches >380/190 will need to be spread across multiple MiSeq/Sequel2 runs.
2. These are generally maximum raw read outputs you will receive, but there is inherent variability in runs, meaning averages can be closer to 30k/60k (MiSeq 1X/2X) or 12k/24k (Sequel 2 1X/2X).
3. Extra costs may be incurred if samples, due to their nature, require more specialized (length, cost, etc.) extraction procedures.
4. & 5. Details of our amplicon and metagenomics pipelines are available at https://github.com/mlangill/microbiome_helper, but a summary of the major deliverables clients will receive (analyses will require a "mapping file" from the clients containing any relevant metadata for the study) are available on our Protocols page.
Custom Bioinformatics: Additional bioinformatic analyses can be requested at an hourly rate or through research collaboration. Please contact us for more details.
Customs primers/amplicons: Beyond the 16S/18S/ITS amplicons offered "in-stock", essentially any PCR amplicon (max. size ~550 bp, best ~450-500 bp for MiSeq; no size limit for Sequel 2) can be adapted to our systems. Please consults us for primer design/protocol details. Pricing is as follows (one-time extra oligo ordering charge): $1050/1400/2100 for oligos for 1-95/96-190/191-380 samples for MiSeq; $350/700 for oligos for 1-95/96-190 samples for Sequel 2.
Processing time: Time to completion may be variable depending the amount of other partial projects in the queue - this generally no longer applies to amplicons as we are at capacity, but occurs more when submitting small numbers of samples for metagenomics runs (<<192 for NextSeq2000) or de novo genomes (<<48 for Sequel2).
Payment: Payment is required within 30 days of receiving your invoice, only after completion of work (ie: delivery of data). All payments are final and no refunds are accepted.
