Sample Submission

Note: MW Confirmation refers to nominal mass only MS Sample Requirements

• Submit > 1 nmol if sending an oligonucleotide for oligo sequencing, or > 50 pico moles for all other oligo analyses. An ideal oligo submission for routine work would be at least 30 microliters of 5 micromolar sample
• Submit 50-100 ug (e.g. 1mg/mL x 50-100 uL) for MAb analysis. Tell us in the comments if the samples contain any detergent (Tween, TritonX, etc).
• Sample may be dry (specify grams or moles) or in solution (specify volume & concentration)
• Provide target molecular weight or putative oligonucleotide sequence (use IDT designation as specified at IDT Oligo Nomenclature) including sequence modifications if available
• If submitting a small molecule, please indicate the structure and/or functional groups, a solvent, and any other important information in the Comments field of the Excel sheet

Plate Submissions:

• • • To qualify for plate pricing:
      • Each sample in the plate must be at a concentration between 5 uM – 10 uM with a minimum of 100 uL of sample.
      • The plate MUST be skirted.
      • Example of an accepted 96-Well Plate: https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/A31728
    • To prevent cross-contamination and potential sample loss, it is best to ship them either on dry ice, or dried-down.
      • Even the best plate seals it is likely that cross-contamination will happen during the shipping process.
    • Specify the plate position for each sample in the excel sheet.
