Sample Submission

  • If submitting tissue: Place samples vertically (A1, B1, C1..) in an Abgene 2.2mL 96 deep-well plate and seal tightly with adhesive foil seal.
  • If submitting purified DNA: Place samples either vertically in an Abgene 96 well plate sealed tightly with adhesive foil seal or in 1.5mL microfuge tubes
  • Complete Genotyping Sample Registration Form; fill in appropriate information indicating whether you are submitting tissue or DNA, and what assays you need run
  • Place samples and form in a Ziploc bag and drop-off in 4C Refrigerator (Medical Center Ground Floor Room G-7814)

Data Retrieval and Analysis
