Dear University of Michigan Research Community,

In preparation for expected COVID-19 impact to our personnel, the U-M Advanced Genomics Core is shutting down on-site Sanger Sequencing starting at the close of business today, Friday, March 13, 2020, at 4:30pm. Beginning Monday, March 16, there will be Sanger sequencing services available to U-M researchers through our partnership with Eurofins Genomics. To assist researchers with getting accounts set up and samples prepared for shipment to Eurofins, we expect to have AGC staff on-site at our drop-off locations at MSRB II and NCRC on Monday and Tuesday from 9:30 AM until 4:30 PM.

Warm Regards,

Olivia Koues, Ph.D.
Managing Director, Advanced Genomics Core

Steps for Ordering Sanger Sequencing from Eurofins

• To create an account, go to https://b2b.eurofinsgenomics.com/custom/umich
• Barcodes are used to track samples and primers. Eurofins Genomics provides barcode labels for free. These barcodes can be applied to sample tubes and/or primer tubes. Initial barcodes packets can be picked up from AGC drop-off locations: MSRB II, LSI, and NCRC. Additional barcodes must be ordered from the Eurofins supplies page.
  • Customers can submit samples without barcode stickers however turnaround time can be slower and there is a higher risk for sample mix-ups.
• Before you drop off your samples, submit your order online using the University of Michigan Custom Portal.
  • After logging in, click on “DNA Sequencing” at the bottom of the page to choose the product and/or service you wish to order.
    • Primers/Templated can be submitted premixed or separately. Eurofins stocks a wide variety of universal primers.
    • You must follow Eurofins concentration and volume submission guidelines.
    • A shortcode must be provided during check-out.
  • Print out order confirmation and enclose with samples in zip-top bag.
  • Drop off samples in a Eurofins Dropbox:
    • NCRC Building 14, Room 122
    • MSRB II C562
    • LSI 2297
• Sample submission cut-off is 4:00 pm Monday through Friday.
