Submitting samples

When we receive samples, whether they are DNA, RNA or Premade libraries, they first undergo our quality control (QC) assays before being processed by the Library Preparation Team or Sequencing Team. Performing these assays…more

A colorimetric method to determine efficiency of FACS sorting

28/03/2017

The colorimetric method (Rodrigues et al, 2016) can be used to determine the efficiency of FACS sorting into 96- and 384-well plates. It’s an inexpensive method that uses 3, 3′, 5, 5′- Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and…more
