Customers are expected to provide the recommended amount and quality of starting material. Once the project has entered the workflow, sequencing is performed and data are delivered based on the outcome of the initial library preparation and sequencing run. The Standard option is therefore particularly well suited for routine applications where speed and cost-effectiveness are the primary considerations.

The Premium workflow is designed for projects that require additional quality assurance and greater certainty regarding sequencing output. Premium includes Entry QC, additional quality control checkpoints where appropriate, and the possibility to repeat library preparation if necessary. Depending on the project type, additional sequencing may also be performed to achieve the agreed sequencing output.

Premium additionally provides dedicated project management support and allows for greater flexibility regarding sample input requirements. This makes it a suitable option for challenging samples, valuable material, or projects where data output requirements are critical. A setup fee applies to Premium projects to cover the additional quality control and project management activities.

In summary:

• Standard: Fast, cost-efficient workflow with no setup fee, ideal for routine projects where recommended input requirements can be met.
• Premium: Enhanced quality control, dedicated support, and greater assurance regarding sequencing output, ideal for critical projects or challenging sample types.

Both options deliver high-quality sequencing data, allowing customers to choose the workflow that best matches their project requirements, timeline, and budget.
