Your BAC Library, Library Screening, and DNA Sequencing Specialists

Amplicon Express is a provider of high-quality BAC Libraries, Library Screening, and DNA sequencing services with thousands of satisfied clients all over the world. Our scientists have built thousands of BAC Libraries, random shotgun and whole genome libraries, and generated thousands of DNA sequencing reads since our inception in 1996.
Custom
BAC Libraries
Our Custom BAC Libraries have average insert sizes between 120 Kb and +180 Kb. We are dedicated to maximum quality and have made over 1035 custom BAC libraries since 1996.
Library Screening
Tools and Services
We provide BAC/Fosmid library screening services. We can deliver your region of interest on a clone from a Custom or Premade BAC library. Or we can provide your team library screening tools: Nylon Filters (DNA/DNA hybridization) or Pools & Superpools (PCR based screening).
Whole Genome
Profiling & Mapping
Using cleverly pooled BAC clones and Illumina GAII sequencing. We deliver DNA sequence based BAC contigs for your whole genome! A great way to make super contigs for new or on-going Whole Genome Sequencing projects.
Fosmid and
Shotgun Libraries
Using highly optimized hydroshear technology. These libraries are perfect for screening or DNA Sequencing platforms. Designed for extremely difficult organisms: Environmental Samples, Soil, Marine Sponges, Extremophiles and Biofuel Algae (to name a few).
Sanger
DNA Sequencing
Traditional DNA sequencing services. We are focused on maximum quality and can handle any size order (single tubes to hundreds of micro-titer plates).
Second Generation
DNA Sequencing
We utilize the latest 454 Titanium system and Illumina-Solexa GAII instruments. We can sequence genomic DNA directly or pools of BAC clones. Our team and collaborators work directly with the manufacturers to optimize the data quality/quantity from their systems.
454/Illumina Quality
BAC DNA Preps
Amplicon makes high quality BAC DNA (minimal host E. coli) fully optimized for use on 2nd Generation Sequencing platforms. We can pool the BAC DNA in practically any format/system for YOUR in-house instruments & downstream bioinformatics.
