Illumina library preparation

 Library typeCost/sample 
Genomic fragment library £ 52.96
Genomic fragment library (low volume) £ 26.47
Genomic fragment library, PCR-free £ 59.68
Directional mRNA-seq (polyA) £105.60
Directional RNA-seq (rRNA depletion) £182.75
Small RNA library  £ 81.21
ddRADseq library* £ 52.96
Amplicon library £ 16.03

 * RADSeq licence permits library preparation for 'not for profit' research only and commercial applications are specifically excluded. 

In cases where users submit cDNA the standard genomic library prep charge will still apply. For RNA-seq if users prepare their own libraries using Service's reagents, the cost per library will be equal to the library prep cost stated above. In cases where users use their own kits and adaptors, no library prep charge will be levied.
