For service request, please fill in our Sample submission form.

✓ Package set: From cell to sequencing library
✓ Cell quality and viability check / basic QC
✓ Sequencing library QC and quantification
✓ Intellectual advices (wet / dry lab)
✓ Troubleshooting

× Sequencing NOT included
× Repeated initial sample QC checks might incur extra charges

A. Sequencing library
B. QC reports for cDNA and sequencing library
C. Indexing information

The final product is a double-stranded cDNA molecule with sequencing adaptors and 3 different indices (10X barcode: cell info; UMI: transcript info; sample index: sample info). The sequencing library quality is evaluated by running into an Agilent 4200 TapeStation System.

Users are required to fill in and sign the “Service Form for Single Cell & Spatial Omics Core” prior to sample submission
https://webapp.sbs.cuhk.edu.hk/eform/view.php?id=55400

All users MUST declare the nature of sample(s) submitted to SCSOC FREE of any bio-hazardous material.

An initial assessment of cell quality will be conducted for the generation of data with optimal quality. Users may take the risk of sub-optimal data quality if the initial cell quality check fails.

Upon service booking, a copy of the confirmed service form will be forwarded to both the end user as well as the corresponding PI.

Initial sample submission evaluation (sample quality, amount, etc) is recommended to optimize sample quality, depending on the sample nature. Potential experimental discussion(s) might be arranged prior to samples submission.

The complete workflow take approximately 2 full working days. As only limited amount of samples can be performed per week, users are encouraged to optimize their sample quality before submission. Service bookings are arranged on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Once the service has started, service charge would be accounted for FULL service package price, as the reagents are on package stock basis. We are pledged to provide our service in a reasonable, efficient manner with quality.
