Shipping of RNA Samples

Bioanalyzer QC report is advised to be shared from the client's end, in the absence of which an agarose Gel Electrophoresis and Nanodrop quantification to confirm the integrity of RNA must be shared. Samples with A260/280 ratio values of ~1.8 are considered "pure" for DNA and will be accepted for processing further.

We require Bioanalyzer traces (or similar) for all customer-submitted sequencing libraries and total RNA samples. If traces are not provided, we will perform Bioanalyzer QC for an additional fee. If you can supply traces, please include them into the shipment in hard copy. Also, ensure that your samples meet the specified sample or library requirements [LINK].

For large-scale projects, RNA samples can be submitted in strip tubes with individually attached RNase-free caps. Pack the strips into racks (e.g., empty pipet tip boxes) and ensure they are secured to prevent movement during transport.

RNA, cells, bacteria, and frozen tissue samples should be stored in liquid nitrogen for rapid freezing and then transported with dry ice. For longer shipments, RNA samples can also be successfully shipped dry at room temperature after LiCl/ethanol precipitation and ethanol washes; make sure to mark the pellet's position on the tubes.
