HOW TO ORDER

What needs to be done to receive this service?

ABI recommends pooling different dyes after your PCR reaction.  Recommended volume per well is 10 uL.  For new projects, 16 test dilutions (wells A1-H2) will be run for free for you to optimize the concentration.  Prepare and submit samples in multiples of 16 in a 96 well plate with appropriate concentrations and the Fragment Analysis Request Form at a location listed below.  Be sure to cover plate securely.  If dropping off samples, please cover plate with plate tape.  If shipping samples, please cover plate with cap strips.
