We have no capacity for long time storage so delivered gDNA samples are for one-time use only.
Samples should be delivered in fully skirted 96-well PCR-plates column wise (A1, B1, C1…). Mark the project name (sample batch ID in iLab) on the skirt of the plate.
Full reaction cost will be charged for the empty wells in the middle of the plate.
Plates must be properly sealed with PCR plate seal.
Recommended plates:
Skirted Eppendorf™ twin.tec™ 96 Well LoBind PCR Plates (Catalog no. 0030129512)
FrameStar® 96 Well Skirted PCR Plates (4ti-0960)
When your project has been approved via iLAB you can bring your sample plate to the freezer which is located in Biomedicum 2U, room F216a (”gDNA samples for NGS workflow" or "Sequencing ready libraries for NovaSeq run")
You can also send samples by mail or courier service. Contact core personnel before sending the samples using the address below:
FIMM Technology Centre
Genomics NGS Sequencing
Biomedicum 2U, 2nd floor, F-wing
Tukholmankatu 8
00290 Helsinki
DNA samples can be shipped at room temperature without compromising results when the samples are free of contaminants and the duration of transport is not long. Seal the plates securely using PCR seal. Make sure to attach the seals properly.
