Enhancing our Sanger Services

October 15, 2021

We are happy to announce a number of improvements to our Sanger sequencing services.

Secure on-campus sample submission

We now have a secure refrigerated drop-box on the main floor of the Pharmaceutical Sciences building.  The box is located inside the Agronomy Road (Plaza) entrance, to the left of the stairs to the mezzanine.  

Updated processing and result deadlines

We are now processing Sanger samples five days per week.

Submit your pre-mixed samples by 2pm using our new drop-box and receive your data within 1-3 business days. This new time is applicable to pre-mixed, and user-prepared samples only. 

The deadline for submitting core-prepared samples is 9:00am, with results available within 2-5 business days

Sanger Resources

We have created an FAQ section on our website explaining how Sanger works and troubleshooting tips.
