RNA and NGS Library QC Services


The Genomics Technology Core provides services for the integrity check of total RNA and fragment sizing of NGS libraries. The Agilent Fragment Analyzer provides a 96 sample automated throughput. The instrument combines electrophoresis, staining, imaging, band detection, and analysis into a single workflow.

Qubit assay services for determining the concentration of NGS library (double-stranded DNA) or RNA samples are also available.

Samples are to be submitted with a DNA/RNA Authorization Form. The form is available and can be filled out at the time of submission. Required is a MO code for billing.

Samples may be submitted any time during normal business hours. You may consider sending an email to the Genomics Core to schedule a time to ensure someone is available to recieve samples.


Sample Type Quantity Required Minimum Volume
Total RNA 50 - 200 ng/µl 3 µl

NGS Library 25 - 75 ng/µl 5 µl
