Illumina

NU-OMICS was one of the first sites in the UK to install the Illumina MiSeq in 2013 and the Illumina MiSeq i100 in 2025.

At NU-OMICS we strive to keep up-to-date with the current sequencing technology. We provide many services including but not limited to amplicon sequencing, genome sequencing, shotgun metagenomics, and transcriptomics. Take a look at our standard services below.

We can also help validate new amplicon targets for microbial community sequencing on our Illumina platforms and our academic led facility can support novel approaches or new technologies. Please contact us if you have an application that is not listed below.
