What is the best method to send our samples?
DNA samples must be frozen prior to boxing and shipping. Verify that the rack is locked. Place each rack in a separate bubble bag. Place the racks in a shipment container and fill all empty space in the shipment container with dry ice so that the plates stay frozen and do not move during shipment. Ship all packages overnight for delivery on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Send tracking number to your Project Coordinator. The SNP Center cannot accept samples until all Project Initiation Documents are complete. Do not ship samples until all necessary documentation has been received and reviewed by the Project Coordinator. • Do you verify DNA concentration? Do your adjust volumes to achieve correct concentration? We do not verify DNA concentration. We will run one plate through the process to make sure the samples are performing well before proceeding with the remainder of the project. Due to the numbers of samples we process, we do not adjust concentrations at the SNP Center. •
