CORES: Array Core
Establishing an Account and Placing an Order
STEP A:
All Orders
If you are purchasing our Microarrays or our DNA-to-Data Service, you will need to set up an account on CoreAdmin:
- UCSF user follow the UCSF PI link under the CoreAdmin login window.
- External Users follow the “External User” link under the CoreAdmin login window.
- Once your account has been established, place an order for the desired service in CoreAdmin.
If you are only purchasing our Microarrays, this is all you need to do. We will contact you shortly to confirm your shipment.
If you are ordering our DNA-to-Data service, please continue to Step B.
STEP B:
DNA-To-Data Service
Please provide us with three items:
- Fax or email a copy of your IRB (Institution Review Board) Approval to use Human samples if your DNA samples are from human clinical material (fresh, frozen, or paraffin embedded). This form is not necessary if the DNA is from cell lines.
- Fax or email the 260/280 and 260/230 spectrophotometer readings and concentrations for each sample you submit. You can use our Spectrophotometer Form or one of your own design. Samples with 260/280 ratios less than 1.8 and 260/230 ratios less than 2.0 can lead to poor hybridization results and should be discussed with the Core before sending samples.
- A minimum of 1 ug of sample DNA (preferably 2 ug) suspended in 10 uL of biology grade water is preferred. We recommend sending samples on ice.
Fax these forms to:
Greg Hamilton (415) 476-8218
We will confirm the receipt of your samples and provide an estimated shipping date by email.
