DNA SYNTHESIS

Custom oligonucleotides through IDT (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc)
25 nmol scale synthesis (basic) $0.25/base
  • Many other synthesis scales are available as well as various modifications for a higher price.
  • Desalted custom synthesized DNA oligos come lyophilized with a yield guarantee.
The common primers listed below are in stock and available immediately. (cleaved, deprotected, quantified and lyophilized) $15.00/10 ug

DNA SEQUENCING

ABI 3130 4-capillary $7.50 per reaction
25 nmol scale synthesis (basic) $0.25/base
  • Includes sequencing reaction and capillary electrophoretic sequencing run.
  • User supplies template DNA (typically at 100ng/ul water) and any custom primer (typically at 1pmol/ul water)
  • Approximately 2 pmol primer is required per sequencing reaction.
  • Direct PCR fragment sequencing requires 10ng per 100bp of template fragment.
  • Plasmid sequencing requires at least 300ng template DNA per reaction.
  • Phage sequencing requires >500ng template DNA per reaction, so it is usually submitted at a higher concentration.

PROTEIN IDENTIFICATION

Electrospray Mass Spectrometry $30.00-$40.00 per run (consult center personnel)
  • User should see staff for information on sample requirements
MALDI-TOF/TOF Mass Spectrometry $30.00 per run
  • User should see staff for information on sample requirements
Tryptic Digest $10.00 per protein
Zip-tip desalting/purification $5.00

PROTEIN PURIFICATION
