What do I get for $5.50 per sample? You get: 1. DNA extraction of your sample, 2. PCR amplification to detect as many alleles/loci as we can multiplex, 3. Data analysis (determination of your genotypes), and 4. Genotyping report delivered by email (including annotated agarose gel images of the PCR assays).
How many samples do I need to send to get your $5.50 per genotype price?-One sample.
When will I get my results? Results are delivered within 3 days from the day we receive your samples.
What about double and triple mutant mice? As long as we can multiplex your PCR assays into a single PCR reaction, you only pay $5.50 per sample. Additional PCR reactions cost $2.00 per sample.
What kind of mouse tissue samples do you accept? We encourage clippings from tails, but we can process other tissues, including ears, toes, and embryo samples.
If supplying tail samples, what are the requirements? Uniformity. We recommend sending us samples that are evenly matched in size. A 3 mm tail clip is more than enough.
What is the best way to store my samples prior to and during shipment? Immerse your tail samples in 70% ethanol. Under these conditions tails can be stored at room temperature for at least 1 week, or shipped using standard mail, with minimal degradation.
How should I ship my samples? We recommend shipping your samples using USPS Priority Mail Flat-Rate Envelope, which delivers your samples in 2 days. For faster service use USPS Express Mail, FedEx, or UPS, which can deliver your samples overnight.
Can I send samples in tubes, strips, or plates? We accept samples in any format.
Do you develop genotyping assays? Yes. We can develop genotyping assays free of charge.
