Services/Pricing (Download PDF)
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.
Note: MGS+MTS pricing on the NextSeq2000 has been updated for 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.
