Plasmidsaurus launches overnight microbiome amplicon sequencing to accelerate microbiology research

The Plasmidsaurus team is heading to the ASM Microbe conference this week to share how ultra-fast long-read sequencing can help speed up microbiology workflows. Plasmidsaurus sequences while you sleep so you can get the best quality data, as fast as possible. With microbiome amplicon sequencing, you can now get full-length reads and species level classification overnight. 

For microbiologists, Plasmidsaurus already offers the fastest bacterial genome sequencing. Get complete coverage and a fully annotated genome assembly overnight, starting at $90 for genomes under 7 Mb. Ideal for tracking antimicrobial resistance genes, identifying engineered strains, and validating reference genomes, we generate complete, de novo bacterial assemblies from clonal samples, which capture large insertions and structural variants. We also sequence any plasmids or phages, giving you a full picture of your bug’s genome. You can send purified genomic DNA or bacterial cell pellets.

Most microbiome sequencing today uses legacy workflows and large batch sequencing, leading to slow turnaround times. With Plasmidsaurus sequencing, you can get full-length 16S, 18S, or ITS reads with species-level classification overnight, starting at $30 per sample. For 16S amplicons, Plasmidsaurus also offers amplification and even extraction directly from raw biological samples. See here for more details about how to prepare your samples for sequencing. 

This speed unlocks a new kind of experiment. Instead of waiting weeks for results, you can run fast checkpoints during timecourses, verify sample composition as you go, or catch contamination before it spreads. Whether you’re tracking microbial changes, running pilot screens, or validating strain behavior, this service gives you insight when you need it. If you’re studying microbial genomes or microbial populations and using sequencing in creative ways, we’d love to hear from you!

Plasmidsaurus’s mission is to accelerate biological research with the world’s fastest sequencing. Get started sequencing today.
