BUMSR Core Library Preparation + Sequencing Service Request

  • Sample QC via nanodrop and bioanalyzer is performed as part of library preparation. Complete ONLY this form if you would like the BUMSR Core to prepare libraries for your samples followed by sequencing. DO NOT complete the Bioanalyzer QC form or the Sequencing form in addition

  • If you do not have an grant number yet, please email the MSR Core at MSRLab@bu.edu as soon as you receive one. The service will not be provided until the Core receives the account number.
  • If you are an non-BU investigator, please indicate your invoice number or "Invoice Pending."
  • Sequencing Library Preparation

  • Please indicate the exact name of the RNA Isolation Kit you used to prepare your samples. If you did not use a kit, please specify your process and place additional details in the notes of this form.
  • If you have an excel/ word/ text file with information on the names, volumes, and concentrations of your samples, please attach the file here. Be sure to include at minimum the sample names and volumes, even if you have yet to determine the concentrations.
  • Please list at minimum the sample names and volumes here. If you do not know the concentration of your samples, please indicate "TBD."
