Waikato DNA Sequencing Facility

The Waikato DNA Sequencing Facility is part of the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Waikato; situated in Hamilton, New Zealand.

The facility offers a DNA sequencing service based on the Amersham Biosciences MegaBACE DNA Analysis System, providing sequences, SNP Types and genotypes for researchers from single-stranded, double-stranded, PCR-derived and environmental DNA templates using energy transfer style dye terminator chemistry.

• High throughput sequencing options

For large numbers of similar templates like clone libraries and environmental collections where a large sample numbers overwhelm the need for a result for every sample.

• Internal and collaborative projects

Students, staff and collaborative projects undertaken with the University of Waikato can be eligible for a special rate.

• Sequence Direct

Send in your plaque picks, colony picks, cell culture, phage supernatant or glycerol stocks for sequencing without the need for DNA preparation.
