Metagenomics Services and Price List

The Infectious Diseases Institute FY25 Genomics and Microbiology Solutions Lab (IDI‐GEMS) Fee Schedule

IDI-GEMS Sequencing Service Notes:

IDI-GEMS uses Illumina NextSeq 2000 sequencing instruments.
Unless otherwise requested, all sequencing runs will utilize P3 Cartridges. Order turn-around time will vary and is dependent on P3 cartridge fill.
Per-sample prices are calculated based on the number of reads per sample of your project and the respective percentage of cartridge use. See the IDI-GEMS Fee Calculation Guide for an explanation of sequencing fee calculations.
University policy does not permit billing in advance of the service. IDI-GEMS will bill upon the completion of the service. There are no exceptions.
Sequencing can be expedited by purchasing an entire cartridge (P1, P2, or P3) for sequencing your samples only.
