Genomic Service Unit
Sequencing, Equipment and Consumables Service
High-end equipment is expensive and usually not used to full capacity by a single workgroup. Therefore, the aim of central units is to provide all scientists in the LMU Biocenter with access to specific equipment, which was acquired either by a workgroup, a section, or through special grant initiatives. In exchange, running costs and potential repairs are paid for by the central unit via user fees, wherever possible.

In the Equipment Room of the Genomics Service Unit (G02.039) you can find a growing number of instruments, predominantly for gene and gene expression analysis.
- 96-well thermocyclers
- Typhoon
- Odyssey
- Biorad 96-well real-time thermocyclers
- Bioanalyzer
- Workstation for data and picture analysis
- Electronic multi-channel pipettes
Sequenzing Service
The Sequencing Service is located in room G03.031 in the Biocenter. Samples are processed on two ABI 3730 capillary sequencers with 50 cm capillary length providing excellent fragment separation and sensitivity. For more details on the different service options, turnaround times, and pricing please access the online booking system of the Sequencing Service.
Consumables Service
Ordering in large quantities usually get's you a better price. This is the concept behind the consumables service of the Genomics Service Unit. Our stock of consumables contains mostly reagents for gene and gene expression analysis for use with the equipment provided by our central unit:
- ABI BigDye Terminator Mix (v1.1 and v3.1)
- ABI LIZ500 Size Standard
- ABI HiDi Formamid
- 96-well PCR Plates
- Agilent RNA 6000 Nano Chips
- ABI PowerSYBR Green PCR Master Mix
