Microarray and Gene Expression Core
Sample Shipping Guidelines Please do not ship any samples prior to contacting MIHG. All study samples (internal / external) need to be approved for acceptance by the Microarray core prior to shipment. Once samples have been approved for acceptance, please send an email with the Principal Investigator's name to alert us that samples are on the way to lnathanson@med.miami.edu. Please be sure to follow all applicable International Air Transportation Association (http://www.iata.org/index.htm) regulations for packaging and shipping. We prefer that samples be shipped Monday through Wednesday of the week. Ship via overnight carrier when possible. Please enclose a list with the samples with the Principal Investigator's name, the sample numbers & amount of sample (concentration, volume and ug) in each tube. RNA samples should always be shipped on dry ice. Blood should be shipped at room temperature or on blue ice if we are receiving within three days of draw, unless it is an ACD tube for transformation, then we need to receive at room temperature. Plasma and serum previously isolated must be shipped on dry ice. DNA should be shipped on dry ice also. Shipping and Contact Information: Lubov Nathanson, Ph.D. |
