How to get samples to the AGC

Spatialomics Appointments

NGS, Genotyping, QC, and qPCR samples

Sample drop-off is contactless. After labeling and placing your samples in a zip-top bag, drop-off instructions depend on the submission location:

• MSRB II C-Level
• NCRC Building 90 Dock
• NCRC Building 14 Room 122
• Shipping to the AGC

Do NOT place dry ice in the drop-off freezers. Samples submitted to the remote freezer locations (MSRBII C555 and NCRC Dock) are couriered to the AGC on dry ice M-F afternoons.

If the drop-off locations at MSRB II or NCRC014-122 are closed because of a weather incident, you can still drop off samples at NCRC Building 90 Dock daily between 7am and 4:30pm, as long as NCRC is open.
