Handling the Results

Receiving Sequencing Files by Email

All customers will receive their results by email. You will receive a simple text file and also the electropherogram file for each reaction run. Once received, the electropherogram files can be opened using a sequence analysis software program such as Chromas (for PC's) or EditView (for Macs). The text files can be opened by using Microsoft Word.
