How to Submit Samples
To submit a project to the GSAF:
- Log in here (upper right corner - EID login required - if you don't have one, you can get one here)
- Create a New Job Request via our online project submission form
- Watch your email inbox for your job request to be reviewed and approved by the GSAF, you will receive an email confirming your request and then another once the job has been approved. If you do not receive an email, the request has not been submitted to the GSAF.
-
Bring your samples to the GSAF: MBB 3.210, or via mail
-
Job Request will only be approved Monday thru Thursday, however you may still drop samples off on Fridays but only if you have a previously approved job number.
You may create a Job Request with no obligation; it provides a price estimate and the option to save and come back later, submit or delete. You'll have a request ID until the GSAF checks everything over. Then you'll have a job ID and can submit samples.
Request ID's are 6-digit alphanumeric codes. Job numbers have the form, "JAnnnnn".
Use Comments at the bottom of every page for any questions or problems you have.
You can view our upcoming sequencing run queues, modify a job request (before it starts), get in-process or historical reports for any job, get historical billing information sent to your PI, or get price estimates via the links below.
