Coming soon: A new look for our website!

In the next few weeks, we'll be upgrading this website! Please be patient with us while we work out the kinks. We'll retain all the existing functionality of this site, though we'll be moving some things around. Let us know what you think!  

Illumina NovaSeq now available in GC3F! 

Thanks to a generous award from the Murdock Charitable Trust, GC3F is now offering Illumina sequencing services on a NovaSeq 6000 sequencer. The NovaSeq will be taking the place of our workhorse HiSeq 4000, and offerings the following advantages over the older platform:

  • Multiple output modes from 400M up to 2500M read pairs per lane
  • Lower cost per Gbp than HiSeq 4000, even in the lowest NovaSeq output mode (SP)
  • Lowest cost per Gbp of any available sequencing platform in high output (S4) mode
  • Fewer lanes per flowcell = less lead time waiting for lane submissions from other users needed to launch runs
  • Full compatibility with all Illumina library types

SP 500 Cycle $2767 $3458 PE 2x250 325-400 million+
SP 300 Cycle $2029 $2536 PE 2x150 325-400 million+
SP 100 Cycle $1475 $1844 SR 118*, PE 2x59* 10X scRNA 325-400 million+

*All NovaSeq kits contain sufficient reagent to sequence an additional 38nt beyond the specified cycle number. These can be used for 10X cell barcodes, long dual index reads, or extended read length for the library inserts

**These are the official Illumina output specs and are conservative. Real world performance will often exceed these read numbers

NEW POLICY ON DATA RETENTION

We have had an increasing number of requests for the retrieval of old sequencing data from our archive. While we are always happy to help whenever we can, a couple of issues have arisen surrounding this. CLICK HERE to review our new policy on data retention & retrieval.
