CeGaT offers sequencing of custom-made libraries compatible with Illumina or PacBio systems. We make use of the latest sequencing technologies. Depending on your needs, samples will be sequenced either on Illumina short-read platforms (NovaSeq X Plus, NovaSeq 6000, MiSeq) or the PacBio Sequel IIe long-read system.
Flexible sequencing options are available, specifically tailored for your project. Please refer to our technical information for further details.

Explore Our Product Portfolio for Ready to Load Sequencing
We offer different Ready to Load Sequencing options to address a variety of research questions. Different systems, flow cells, and sequencing options are available.
NovaSeq X Plus Platform (Illumina)
SR: single-read; PE: paired-end
NovaSeq 6000 Platform (Illumina)
SR: single-read; PE: paired-end; CPF: clusters passing filter
*In case of PE sequencing, they will be twice as much.
Miseq Platform (Illumina)
SR: single-read; PE: paired-end; CPF: clusters passing filter
*In case of PE sequencing, they will be twice as much.
Sequel IIe Platform (PacBio)
Bioinformatics
Depending on the used sequencing platform, the data formats differ. For short-read sequencing projects you will either receive raw sequencing data as BCL files or demultiplexed FASTQ files. If needed, adapter trimming can be performed. For sequencing projects completed on our PacBio system, you will get the HiFi reads as FASTQ files.
Technical Information
At CeGaT, sequencing is performed using the Illumina or PacBio sequencing platforms.
For sequencing projects on the Illumina platforms, we accept any compatible library. Illumina index sequencing primers and custom primers may be used during the sequencing process at CeGaT. If you have generated libraries with commercial library construction kits for PCR-based targeted sequencing using a unique molecular identifier (UMI), we can offer sequencing modes with customized sequencing parameters. The lengths of read 1 and read 2, as well as the index read lengths can be adapted to your needs.
For conducting HiFi long-read sequencing projects, we accept libraries generated using the SMRTbell prep kit 3.0. If you also want us to perform the SMRTbell library preparation with your ready-to-use DNA samples (sheared/purified DNA), please let us know and we can discuss the options.
Explore our Ready to Load Sequencing product portfolio with various sequencing options for your libraries. Depending on the batch size, required output, and read number specifications, you can choose from our portfolio.
