Qubit Flex Quantification Sample Requirements
Overview
The Genomics Core is now offering high throughput quantification using the Qubit Flex. This service is for ≥72 samples. Samples must be submitted in a 96-well PCR-type plate(s) that is filled by column, beginning with column A1. Samples that are not plated properly will not be processed. Researcher will request which kit they would like the Genomics Core to use. The Genomics Core will use 1 µl of each sample for the assay.
Pricing information for our Qubit Flex high throughput quantification service is availabe on our Pricing webpage.

Submitting Samples
Researchers will pre-register their samples in our LIMS system. See our LIMS Project Submission webpage for information about requesting a LabLink account, creating a project, and to download the submission form.
Once the project is registered in the LIMS, samples will be delivered to the Genomics Core along with the signed LIMS project submission confirmation page. The researcher will place samples in the -20 freezer (bin labeled "Qubit Flex") in the hallway outside of the Genomics Core (S-18 Plant Biology). Place the LIMS confirmation page in the basket labeled "Qubit Flex" that is attached to the outside of the freezer. Results will be uploaded to Genomics Depot within 48-72 business hours.
Returning Samples
It is the researcher's responsibility to pickup leftover samples after data is returned. Contact the Genomics Core at gtsf@msu.edu to schedule an appointment to pickup samples. Samples that are not picked up will be discarded one month after submission date.
