USE BARCODES AS A CONVENIENT PAYMENT OPTION

Our Barcodes for Sequencing service provides handy sample labeling and a more convenient payment option for all sequencing products submitted in tubes or plates. Barcode labels can easily be shared with colleagues and managed through the Payment Center within CLIMS, our online ordering/data management system.


We provide two types of barcode options at GENEWIZ:

1. Prepaid Barcodes: Secure flexibility, convenient logistics, automated sample processing workflows, and easy online order tracking throughout the entire process. Enjoy minimized paperwork and simplified invoicing, boosting your sequencing efficiency.

2. Non-Prepaid Barcodes: Use these with any of our sequencing services for a flexible selection of your specific needs. Activate Non-Prepaid Barcodes in your CLIMS account to choose and utilize the desired sequencing service.


Our barcoding service is designed to optimize your experience by streamlining sample management and enhancing workflow efficiency. Simply order the barcodes from your CLIMS account and submit samples at your nearest dropbox or via a local courier.


Avoid delays in your Sanger data delivery by reviewing our instructions for barcode labeling.


 

 

Barcodes for Sequencing in Tubes Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined Standard

White Barcode labels for tubes can be used for Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined sample types submitted in tubes with Standard delivery time. Your data will be ready for download the next business day after sample receipt at Azenta. Choose between Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined service types when placing your order on your CLIMS account and then select between Prepaid or Non-Prepaid payment options.

Barcodes for Sequencing in Tubes Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined Express

Use blue barcodes labels for tubes for Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined sample types submitted in tubes for Express delivery. Your data will be ready for download the next business day by 12 pm after sample drop off at your Azenta dropbox. You can choose between Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined service type and select Prepaid or Non-Prepaid payment option. 

Note: For the Express delivery service, you will need to use a nearby Azenta dropbox with free pick-up at your location. Alternatively you will be provided with a DHL Express shipping kit.

Please contact sanger.europe@azenta.com if you want to request a Azenta dropbox or DHL Express shipping kit. For UK customers, please refer to Azenta's UK logistic solutions.
 

Barcodes for Sequencing in Plates Pre-Mixed / Pre-Defined Standard

Benefit from cost-effective Sanger high-throughput sequencing in 96-well plates available for Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined service with Standard Delivery.

White barcode labels for plates can be ordered in your CLIMS account by choosing either the Pre-Mixed or Pre-Defined service type and then selecting your preferred payment option: prepaid or non-prepaid. For the Pre-Mixed Plate Sequencing Service, please provide your purified template (DNA) with primer mixed in the same plate well according to our Sample Submission Guidelines.

For Pre-Defined Plate Sequencing Services, send one 96-well plate with 96 templates to be sequenced with one primer (96 sequencing reaction). Or send us your template (DNA) to be sequenced with different primers per one 96-well plate (for e.g 96 reactions with primer A, 96 reactions with primer B, etc)

Note: Express delivery for Sanger sequencing Plates is only available with Pre-Mixed service type. Your data will be ready for download the next business day by 12 pm after sample drop-off at your Azenta dropbox or sample collection by DHL Express. For UK customers, please refer to Azenta's UK logistic solutions.
 

Primer Barcodes

If you wish to use a custom primer, use purple Primer Barcodes to label your primer tube for the Pre-Defined Tube or Pre-Defined Plate Sequencing Service. 

If you want to use a free Azenta Universal Primer or would like Azenta to synthesize a primer for you, please define the Primer you want to use for your sequencing reaction when you place your Sanger sequencing order on your CLIMS account. 
 

Barcodes for Plasmid-EZ, Whole Plasmid Sequencing 

Use our yellow barcode labels for prepaid whole plasmid sequencing. (Non-prepaid orders for Plasmid-EZ submissions in tubes do not require barcodes). Your data will be ready for download the next business day after receipt of samples at our processing labs. 

Please see the Plasmid-EZ webpage for more information.
 

Plasmid EZ Yellow Label

Barcodes for Amplicon-EZ

Use our orange barcode labels for prepaid amplicon sequencing. Your data will be ready for download within 8 business days upon receipt of samples at our processing labs. 

Please visit the Amplicon-EZ webpage for more information.
 

Amplicon Barcodes

Virtual Barcodes for Sequencing Pre-Defined Vario Plate:

Barcode-driven automated workflows enable flawless and convenient sample processing. For Vario plate, digital barcodes will be deposited into your account - your Vario Plate will be labeled with a physical label at our Azenta lab.

Pre-Defined Vario Plate Sequencing Service is for sequencing plasmids or PCR fragments in 96-well plates and is our most flexible service in terms of the number of templates and the number of primers per template that can be submitted using a 96-well plate.

For each template submitted in a well of a Vario Plate, you can send / select up to four primers that are used for the sequencing of your template.

The invoicing occurs reaction-based instead of plate-based.

Blog | Analyzing Sanger Sequencing Data

The output for Sanger sequencing is typically a chromatogram, also known as a trace or ab1 file, and a text-based sequence file. Although the latter may seem to hold all the relevant information—after all, the point of sequencing is to get a sequence—the former can't be ignored. Here, we provide a guide to understanding Sanger sequencing data.
