Please be aware that all services are requested through iLab. You must have access to an iLab account and have all information current in order to request Core services.
The Genomics Core Laboratory also hosts a number of on-site reagent cabinets from Life Technologies, Sigma, Fisher, National Diagnostics, Promega and Bio-Rad, please inquire for access. These cabinets offer on the fly convenience as well as discounts on shipping and product.
The Proteomics and Genomics Core Laboratory currently out-sources its DNA synthesis to Life Technologies Supply Cabinet.
Our current contract applies only to on-campus users. You must have a Life Technologies Supply Center account to order DNA. Please be aware that this is different than just a Life Technologies online account. All Oligos will be delivered to the Core and put into a designated refrigerator in CA1041. You may self serve the oligos. You should receive all shipping and receipt information from Life Technologies. Once received in the Core, they can be found in the refrigerator.
