Bacterial DNA Sequencing
16S Partial Gene (500 Base Pair) & 16S Full Gene (1500 Base Pair)
16S Partial Gene (500 Base Pair):
Quick and convenient amplification and sequencing of 500 base pairs of the 16S rRNA gene. Sequences are aligned to Midi Labs Custom 16S Library to generate an identity match.
- • Sequence-based measurement ensures we get reproducible results with your chosen turnaround time (same day, next day or our standard 3 day)
- • Growth requirement-independent measurement enables us to identify bacteria using objective criteria
- • Universal domain-level primers eliminate up-front optimization.
- • MIDI Labs extensive Analysis Software ensures accurate species identification.


16S Full Gene (1500 Base Pair)
Looking for discrete differences within the entire 16S gene, we recommend the 1500 Base Pair. It is a more thorough analysis of the 16S gene. Sequences are aligned to Midi Labs Custom 16S Full Gene Library to generate an identity match.
- • Sequence-based measurement ensures we get reproducible results with your chosen turnaround time (Expedited or Standard)
- • Growth requirement-independent measurement enables us to identify bacteria using objective criteria
- • Universal domain-level primers eliminate up-front optimization.
- • Midi Labs extensive Analysis Software ensures accurate species identification.

The MIDI Labs Difference includes:
