Located in the Dept of Microbiology &
Immunology, the DNA Sequencing Facility provides nucleic acid sequencing on a fee-for-service basis to the investigators of Loyola University
Health System and unaffiliated researchers in the Midwest region.
The DNA Core Facility provides
friendly service and timely DNA sequencing in an efficient manner by
experienced molecular biologists.
Sequencing is performed on an ABI Prism 3100 4-capillary automated genetic analyzer with a capacity of about
35 samples in 24 hours. We sequence single or double stranded DNA from
plasmids and PCR products. A minimum of 500 to 600 bp can usually be
read without ambiguity.
The presence of this laboratory at Loyola University Medical Center offers investigators direct access to current DNA sequencing technology as well as an experienced technical staff to aid in the planning of experiments and subsequent data
analyses.

Customers need to supply high quality DNA preps.
Primers available: T7, Sp6, M13 Universal and Reverse M13. We will
also sequence using your primer at 1.6 pmol/µl
(must be at least 18 bp in length). Sequence data are delivered via e-mail in the form of sequence files and chromatogram. Click
