Sequencing

Illumina HiSeq 3000
Our primary next-generation sequencing platform features a new patterned flow cell containing 8 lanes that allows for ultra-high throughput.  This system is capable of delivering up to 750 Gb per flow cell in 3.5 days.  Therefore, more samples can be sequenced at a greater depth, so large studies can be completed faster and more meaningful data is generated in less time, all at the lowest price per sample. 

Illumina NextSeq 500
Our secondary next-generation sequencing platform features two run modes—Mid Output and High Output.  The High Output and Mid Output configurations can generate up to 120 Gb and 40 Gb, respectively.

Illumina MiSeq
A small-scale next-generation sequencing platform, providing up to 15 Gb of sequencing data and 
2 × 300 bp runs.

Illumina cBot 
Creates clonal clusters from single-molecule DNA templates, preparing them for sequencing by synthesis on the HiSeq.

Library Prep

Covaris S200
A precision, high-output sonicator that mechanically shears DNA and RNA to a desired size range.

Blue Pippin
A preparative electrophoresis platform that separates and extracts DNA automatically in buffer according to software-input target ranges.

Quality Control

Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer
A microfluidics-based platform for sizing, quantification and quality control of DNA and RNA.

Agilent 2200 TapeStation  
An agarose gel-based platform for sizing, quantification and quality control of DNA and RNA.
