Sequencing Technologies
With the largest academic installation of Element AVITI sequencers in the U.S. and as the first core facility to install the Ultima UG 100, the UMGC continually adopts the latest platforms to provide researchers with flexible solutions across project scales, budgets, and timelines.
Whole Genome Sequencing
$199 per sample. Human or mouse.
Advances in the Ultima UG 100 enable us to offer competitively priced human WGS, which includes sample QC, PCR-free library preparation, 30x sequencing, and data analysis.

Lunch and Learn: Improve Reproducibility and Sample Quality with Automated Tissue Dissociation
On Tuesday, July 21, learn how automated tissue dissociation and sample preparation workflows can improve reproducibility, cell viability, and yields. Manual tissue dissociation can introduce variability that impacts downstream analyses. The Miltenyi GentleMACS Octo Dissociator with Heaters addresses this challenge with a flexible, standardized approach to tissue processing. -
