• Check concentration and quality of samples using Qubit and/or Nanodrop.
  • Check fragments length using Bioanalyzer or Tapestation. Do not use Bioanalyzer and Tapestation for concentration measurement.
  • For detailed requirements about each type of sample – see Sample requirements for library preparation.
  • Samples may be submitted in tubes or plates (plates are recommended if submitting a large number of samples):.
    • Tubes - Use only 1.7 ml Eppendorf tubes. Write the name of the sample clearly on the side of the tube. Ensure that the name on the tube is identical to the name in the submission Excel sheet.
    • Plates - May be used for submitting samples for bulk MARS-seq or INCPM mRNA-seq. Please use a 96-well plate. The plate should be sealed with a cover resistant to -80C and kept on dry ice. If needed, we can provide you with a suitable plate and sealer. Please fill the plate with your samples in columns. Load the samples in the plate from column 1 A to H until column 12 A to H (no spaces).
