1. Collect tissue in 0.2 ml 8-tube strips. Mark the tubes to make the strain and animal ID
identifiable. Please do NOT use individual 0.2 ml tubes or tear off un-used tubes even if you have
fewer than 8 samples. Do NOT combine two mouse lines in the same strip.

3. Enter the mouse line name, animal ID and PCR requirement in "Sample Submission Form".
4. Write your initials followed by the strip number on the SIDE (not on the cap) of the 8-tube strip,

JD2, etc.) help us quickly and correctly arrange the strips according to your order.

VWR under Catalog # 53225-644.
What if the strip breaks?
- Transfer the samples to an intact
strip. Use the recommended brand.
Why can't I break the strip or load two
strains?
- Our high throughput format requires
that the strips are intact and only one
strain is in each strip.
How long can it be delayed before ethanol is
added?
- Within 4 hours of cutting. Otherwise,
the sample may deteriorate.
What if it leaks?
- Make sure it doesn't. Alcohol will erase
the identification.
Do I need to label the cap of the strip?
- No. The cap will be removed, although
you might want to label it for your own
convenience.
What if I forget to label the strip with the
identifying initials and number?
- If we can't figure it out, your order will
be delayed or returned.
Will the samples be returned?
- Correctly submitted samples will NOT
be returned, although special
arrangement can be made.
How long do you keep the samples?
- One week.
Can I submit the sample information
