What we Offer
Complete Custom Experimental Design
We design everything for you. Tailored to your needs. No need to worry about feasability.
Plasmid Maps
Complete and detailed maps provided in Snapgene format, Genbank or Fasta.
Sequencing Results
DNA sequencing is performed at the Plateforme de Séquençage du CHUL in Quebec City.
Glycerol Stocks
In contrast to other service providers, we provide the bacteria glycerol stocks upon project completion. No need to perform plasmid DNA transformation on reception. Whenever possible, plasmid DNA is maintained in T1-phage and T5-phage resistant competent cells.
Fair Pricing
Discounts and/or free complementary products are offered for large projects or long-term projects.
Focus on Results
not on building tools to generate results.

What Our Customers Are Saying About Us and our PCR Service
Don’t just take it from us, let our customers do the talking!
Le Mutliplex fonctionne.
Je peux désormais, grâce à ton expertise, génotyper mes A2AFlox, mes Ucp1Cre et mes AdipoQCre avec le même mastermix!
Merci beaucoup!
T’es un chef!
Je viens de placer une commande de l’enzyme EasyTaq. Merci beaucoup,
Tu as réglé un problème récurrent que j’avais avec cette paire d’amorces.
J’ai besoin de commander de la FastPfu Fly. La Fly est parfaite. Elle va régler tous nos problèmes.
Ta Easytaq est malade!!! Il me faut tous les détails de ton protocole et ton # de catalogue pour la Taq ?
Je n’ai jamais eu d’aussi belles bandes qu’avec ta EasyTaq!
C’est excellent… bien meilleur que ce que j’obtenais.
Merci pour la mutagénèse, je te prends la FastPfu et la FLY et j’ai déjà la KD Plus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is your pricing so low for mouse genotyping by PCR? Other service providers charge 10$ per PCR reaction!
What do I need to buy to use your free PCR optimization service?
Upon reception of our results we will show you the successful results and the PCR setup recipe but not the cycling protocol.
The logical next step however is for you to repeat our experiment. To do such a thing you will likely have to purchase one of our DNA polymerases. DNA polymerases pricing starts at 30$.
Can you clone or perform site-directed mutagenesis on GC- or AT-rich templates?
As we have many DNA polymerases to choose from, the likelyhood of being successful at amplifying GC- or AT-rich templates is high. However, some templates may be more problematic and may require a longer lead time. So far we have achieved 80% and 27% GC content amplifications.
Such projects may be subjected to different pricing.
If we are not successful, we give you your money back.
What fragment size can you clone?
As difficulty increases and sequencing costs increase for cloning of DNA fragments > 1.5 kb, our pricing will also increase for this type of cloning service. Please request a quote.
