Problem
Traditional Sanger sequencing of plasmids and amplicons requires primer design and synthesis, which can be time-consuming and costly, especially for long or complex sequences. Incomplete coverage and difficulties resolving repetitive regions can lead to inaccurate or incomplete sequence data, hindering research and development.
Solution
Plasmidsaurus offers a next-generation sequencing service for complete and accurate analysis of plasmids, amplicons, and microbial genomes without the need for primers or minipreps. The service provides overnight sequencing, enabling researchers to quickly verify sample identity, assess purity, and resolve complex structural variations. By eliminating primer design and synthesis, Plasmidsaurus reduces costs and turnaround times, delivering comprehensive sequence information and annotated gene maps for a range of applications. The platform's ability to resolve repetitive regions and identify structural issues provides insights beyond the capabilities of Sanger sequencing.
