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
$221 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.

UMGC white paper: Automated nuclei isolation from diverse plant tissues using the Singulator 200
This whitepaper evaluates the feasibility of the Singulator 200 to automate and standardize nuclei isolation across diverse plant species, including pennycress, soybean, corn, and tobacco. We compared yield, viability, and morphological integrity of nuclei isolated from fresh and frozen leaf, root, and flower tissues.
