Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center,
Research Cell Bank

Description of services:

The Research Cell Bank (RCB) is a qualified, experienced laboratory that has been actively engaged in clinical research through B-lymphoblastoid cell (B-LCL) transformation and maintenance, DNA extraction, and inventory control for more than 30 years. The RCB is engaged in contractual, fee-for-service work for external entities requiring a large laboratory with expertise in the processing of blood and tissue samples, production of B-LCL, DNA extraction, cryopreservation, and maintenance of a large-scale frozen repository.

Applications:

Purification of DNA using Oragene is only done manually utilizing a modified salting out protocol with 5 Prime reagents. Isolated genomic DNA is rehydrated in T/E buffer at room temperature. The concentration of DNA is determined by a Spectramax 384 Plus spectrophotometer optical density (OD) measurement at 260 nm; the relative purity by OD 260/280 ratio.
