About Sample Submission

Specific Sample Requirements

  • All RNA samples are required to have undergone a DNase I treatment and have been confirmed to be DNA free (an endpoint PCR using RNA as the template and Actin or similar as a target). We are happy to carry out this necessary sample treatment at extra cost. Price on application

  • Denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis to check for sample integrity (client to provide an image of the gel for all samples)

  • Nanodrop or similar spectrophotometric analysis of the sample to provide OD260:OD280 ratios. We will only accept RNA samples that have ratios of 1.85 - 2.00 and DNA with a ratio of 1.8

  • Optional: Bioanalyzer/Tapestation/Fragment Analyser analysis of RNA integrity

  • We carry this out as part of our QC of samples. Please be aware that any samples that do not meet minimum RIN/RQN scores will generate a delay in processing as we will contact you to determine how you wish to proceed

Access to Results

Clients can access results from NeSI cloud storage. We will send a link to you when results are available. Alternatively, we can send a portable hard-drive to you.

We value your samples and ensure we process them to achieve the highest quality result. Results are stored for 3 months after providing it to you. Long-term storage is available for purchase through Globus, and we optionally provide you with a hard drive.

Unused samples are frozen until collected or authority for disposal by autoclave is received.
