DNA/RNA Extraction

Our team comes with a wealth of study design and protocol development. We apply this knowledge and expertise to ensure the right technique is utilized for each requisite tissue/sample type. Our success rate for nucleic acid sample extraction exceeds 99.9%.

Our quality control provision is state of the art and in place to ensure sample quality and integrity for downstream analysis including:

• Flexible DNA extraction capabilities consisting of organic, solid-phase, salting out and bead-based extractions chemistries from virtually any tissue and liquid source.
• The ability to process and extract RNA collected and stored from a variety of frozen tissue types, FFPE etc., and are subject to comprehensive analytical and functional quality control procedures. 
• Sampled utilizes a novel patent pending technology, the SNP Trace™ quality panel for DNA which offers the ability to:
  • rapidly measure 96 SNPs that provide information on sample performance in downstream applications, sample uniqueness, sample contamination, gender, and ethnicity.
  • provide immediate reconciliation of sample collection and registration errors while also qualifying each DNA sample prior to costly downstream analyses.
• Our RNA analytical process is quality controlled.
  • This approach analyzes tissue-specific transcripts that interrogate the entire length of selected transcripts.
  • The analytic values are rapidly processed while providing a direct assessment of cDNA fidelity and unique score for each sample.
  • This score correlates directly with microarray and RNA-Seq performance for any biosample.
• Sampled  incorporates adjunctive services such as:
  • assay customizations
  • bioinformatic driven reports
  • clinical study planning and implementation
  • Custom on-demand CLIA services
