Center for Genome Innovation – Service Rates (updated August 2023)
- Service rates are based on an internal audit of costs for reagents, consumables and labor and are subject to periodic review. Internal rates for UCONN researchers are shown. Rates billed to external (non-UCONN, not for-profit) adds an additional 35% to all billable services for external users. UCONN adds an additional 100% to all billable services for external for-profit company customers.
- Please contact the CGI for project quotes. Projects can be submitted at any time for any number of samples. Project deliverables will be communicated at the time of sample delivery and are subject to change.
MAIN SERVICES:
Illumina Library Preparation and Sequencing (full-service applications for all Illumina Sequencing platforms). NOTE: Please inquire about costs for your specific project and sample number. Select sample number categories are provided to give an idea of costs.
