Frequently Asked Questions
What services does GenoFIND offer?
GenoFIND Genomic Services offers a wide variety of services including: nucleic acid extraction, PCR- based assays, array-based assays and sequencing-based assays. In addition to extraction and downstream applications we also are able to offer a range of scientific consulting, bioinformatics and analysis services. We have access to a wide variety of platforms and qualified scientists with years of experience working with saliva samples so if you have any questions about a specific assay or analysis please contact your Sales Representative or the Services Coordinator for more information.
What should I do if I am not sure exactly what type of assay is the best choice for my project?
Contact your Sales Representative or the Services Coordinator for more information. Based on what you hope to accomplish we can usually recommend which technology is the best choice for your project. If some background research is required a consulting scientist can review the literature from your field and make project recommendations.
I am not familiar with genomics. Can you help me to understand the data once my samples have been processed?
Our reports have been designed to be straightforward and easy to read. The Services Coordinator can also help you to understand the report and describe how to interpret it. If more in-depth analysis is required a consulting scientist can review your data and provide further interpretation.
How long will it take for my services to be performed?
The turnaround time for a project will vary dramatically depending on several factors including: number of samples, type of analysis and the queue at the lab. Typically most average sized projects can be completed within 3-4 weeks from the time that samples are received but if you require data quicker please let the Services Coordinator know. Remember the earlier you are in the queue the easier it will be to accommodate your timelines so always plan ahead.
What quality control measures come standard with your DNA extraction services?
We perform the following QC tests on all samples extracted:
- Fluorescent quantification of dsDNA using PicoGreen
- 260/280 Ratios by UV absorbance (to gauge purity)
- Agarose gels (to gauge DNA integrity)
