Sample Processing

Underpinning outstanding and reproducible science, are consistent and high-quality samples. The quality of these samples is largely dependent on pre-analytical conditions including the timing, collection, storage conditions and sample preparation techniques used. The consistency of producing these samples is paramount in producing consistent and meaningful data.

The Sample Processing Service provides expertise and service for the pre-analytical sample handling and preparation of biological samples and is designed to efficiently and economically meet requirements. The service works alongside researchers and clients, to design pre-analytical sample handling solutions for the collection, transportation, storage, aliquoting, blood fractioning and cell isolation (including PBMC preparation and storage), nucleic extraction (DNA and RNA extraction), nucleic sample QC, and PCR of samples.

Capacity for high-throughput processing or single sample processing is accommodated. Our Service dovetails a range of the Scientific Services in particular, working closer with the Sequencing Service, to provide a seamless product from sample collection to data.
