UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Novogene (UK) Company Limited for on-demand Illumina NovaSeq sequencing services to complement the existing NextSeq capabilities at the MRC LMS in-house facility.

The contract, valued at £60,000, covers a one-year term with an option to extend for an additional year.

The service includes 150bp paired-end sequencing on NovaSeq machines with flexible coverage from full lanes (800G bases) to small samples (~1-3G bases) multiplexed with other users, working with minimum sample concentrations of <=1nM in 30-50 microlitres for 800G bases, and data transfer of demultiplexed samples in fastq.gz format directly to Imperial College London HPC via the Globus app.

Performance criteria require at least 90% of reads with Q30 or higher, evidence of no detectable barcode leakage, and a guaranteed turnaround time of 30 working days for volumes up to one S4 lane.

The provider must be UK-based and offer dedicated customer support with email communication within 24 hours and video calls as required.
