LIBRARY PREPARATION

Across a wide range of sample types and analysis

What are the sample requirements?

In general, 2 aliquots in separate PCR plates: one for QC and one for library preparation. See more details

Note: all samples are required to meet strict quantity and quality thresholds. Samples outside of these thresholds may be able to be submitted/processed if agreed to prior by the centre.

Where do I send samples?

Samples can be dropped off in person at SAHMRI or the Flinders Node, or sent by express post to SAHMRI. All samples need to be accompanied by a completed Sample Submission Form (sent via email AND in hardcopy) and labelled clearly with sample name (<10 characters), date and client name.

DROP-OFF LOCATIONS:

 

SHIPPING SAMPLES:

Address: SAHMRI Building, Level 5, Room 303, North Terrace, South Australia, 5000, Australia

Phone: +61 8 8128 4152

What quality control is offered?
  • DNA or RNA quantification
  • RNA fragment analysis
  • Genomic DNA fragment analysis
  • Library Quantification

NEED SAMPLE EXTRACTION?

We can help with that!

How will my data be shared? Data is shared via FileSender (AARNet), A URL link will be given in the sequencing report.
What format will my data be in? A Mac will decompress with a double click, Windows will show the option with a right click.  Unix command line :        tar -xvf [FileName].tar.gz
Can I use wget or curl commands to bulk download the data? Yes, the exact command can be found via the shared FileSender link.
How long will my download link be available? please download within 4 weeks of data being shared.

Sample Requirements by Service

Concentrations listed below are the ideal ranges for both QC and library preparation. Lower concentrations are suitable, however these may impact our ability to QC samples prior to library preparation. Please contact us to discuss your specific input ranges.

  • Whole-Exome (WES)
  • DNA Methylation, or Whole-Genome Bisulfite (WGBS)
  • Single Cell RNA (scRNA-seq)
  • Spatial Transcriptomics
