Sanger Sequencing

A.  Individual Samples (<24 samples)

    • Use a 1.5 mL microfuge tube
    • Provide at least 10 uL of sample (12-15 uL preferred)
    • Centrifuge your sample before dropping it off at DSF
    • Write your order number and sample NUMBER legibly on the cap             

B.  96 Well Plate (>24 samples)

    • Use a 96-well PCR (i.e. conical well) plate (DSF uses Eppendorf twin-tec 951020600)
    • Provide at least 10 uL of sample (12-15 uL preferred)
    • Seal your plate with adhesive foil (DSF uses VWR 60941-074)
    • Centrifuge your plate before dropping it off (you can use our Sorvall Legend X1)
    • Write your order number legibly on the plate and foil
    • Put your samples in order vertically, starting with well A1
          

What NOT to do!

  • Do not pool like samples.  1 tube = 1 sequencing reaction!
  • Do not put your sample NAME on your tubes
  • Do not give us your primer (unless you are requesting PCR cleanup)
  • Do not use 0.5 mL microfuge tubes

     

  • Do not submit orders of >48 samples in individual tubes  
  • Do not ask us if we will run your samples after 10:00 A.M.
  • Thank you for your cooperation!

    PCR Cleanup

     A.  Individual Samples (<24 samples)

      • Use a 1.5 mL microfuge tube
      • Provide at least 20 uL of unpurified PCR reaction
      • Centrifuge your sample before dropping it off at DSF
      • Write your order number and sample NUMBER legibly on the cap
      • Provide at least 3 uL of primer per sample in a 1.5 mL microfuge tube
      • Primer should be provided at 10 uM concentration  
      • Write the order number AND primer name legibly on the cap.                                      

    B.  96 Well Plate (>24 samples)

      • Use a 96-well PCR (i.e. conical well) plate (DSF uses Eppendorf twin-tec 951020600)

      • Centrifuge your plate before dropping it off (you can use our Sorvall Legend X1)
      • Write your order number legibly on the plate and foil
      • Put your samples in order vertically, starting with well A1
      • Provide at least 3 uL of primer per sample in a 1.5 mL microfuge tube
      • Primer should be provided at 10 uM concentration
