New customers must register for an iLab account

The Griffith DNA Sequencing Facility has introduced an online system to streamline the process of ordering and billing for service requests. All facility users are invited to use the system, which requires a one-time registration. Once you are registered, the system will enable you to place requests, provide required approvals, and monitor progress.

To register for an iLab account, navigate to the GUDSF iLab page and enter your details.

96-Well Plate Instructions

For large batches of samples please use 96-well plates.

  • Leave well H12 empty for sequencing samples and A01 empty for fragment analysis samples. This is for our internal control sample.
  • Clearly mark the orientation of the plate, i.e. Top left-hand corner = well A1 and write your name on the plate.
  • For full plates (95 samples) please use Applied Biosystems Micro-Amp Reaction Plates (P/N N8010560) or Axygen 96-well PCR Amplification Plate (P/N ACYPCR-96M2-HS). A discount applies to full plates.
  • If sending in less than 95 samples in a 96-well plate (partial plate) it is important that the samples are placed in the wells of column 1 before moving on to the next consecutive column. The 96-well plate-mapping diagram below illustrates the order of loading. Note: Blank wells may incur a charge where samples are not organized into full columns.
  • Enter the sample name in the corresponding well/grid position when completing your service request.
