Submit Samples for Illumina Sequencing

  1.  Consult with or request an estimate from Core Staff to pick the best Run Type for your project. 
  2.  Determine your Pre-Sequencing QC option.
  3. Prepare your index list using our template. 
  4. Complete an online sequencing submission.
  5. Samples should be in 1.5 mL or 2 mL Eppendorf (or equivalent) Tubes.
    1. Do not submit samples in PCR tubes (0.2 mL) or 0.5 mL tubes 
    2. If you need pooling, submit samples in clearly labled PCR strip tubes or 96 well plate order should match sample list in the index template above. 
  6. Place samples in a provided zip-top bag with the completed submission slip.
  7.  Log your sample drop-off on the paper log.
  8.  Place the bag into the “sequencing drop-off" submission freezer in the hall.
