Direct Shipping, FedEx

Please use an overnight delivery service such as FedEx for all gwz samples. A printout of the confirmed quote must be included with the material.

All direct shipments should be sent to:

GENEWIZ from Azenta Life Sciences
Attn: NGS
111 Corporate Boulevard
Suite H Loading Dock
South Plainfield, NJ 07080
USA

Tubes / Plates

Organize your samples in tubes or plates following the order indicated on the sample submission form.

Tubes: Prepare samples in clearly labeled and well-organized 1.5 mL flip-cap microcentrifuge tubes. Please avoid using Parafilm to seal the tubes.

Plates: For projects with 16 or more samples, prepare samples in clearly labeled, securely sealed 96-well full-skirted PCR v-bottom plates. Arrange the samples vertically by column, such as A1, B1, C1, etc.

Quality control, QC, is conducted using Qubit, not Nanodrop, and TapeStation. QC results will determine the most suitable approach based on sample quantity and quality.

DNA Sample Submission Guidelines

For precise concentration measurements, a dsDNA quantification assay such as Qubit or PicoGreen is required.

DNA can be concentrated free of charge via SpeedVac^TM. Additional charges and turnaround time will apply for concentration via column or other methods.

Extraction Requirements

All extractions are performed to the best of GENEWIZ’s ability, and the Client is charged for work performed regardless of outcome. Additional charges for procurement of kits may apply for select extractions. Please note: we do not accept samples above BSL 2 and we require prior notification for pathogenic samples.

The minimum submission ensures quality control and a single library preparation. Additional material may be necessary for any repeat analyses. Quality control (QC) is conducted using Qubit (not Nanodrop) and TapeStation. QC results will determine the most suitable approach based on sample quantity and quality.
