Our extraction pilot services include the following:

  • Flexible sample submission: Send us 1–12 samples in any format, including fresh, frozen, or dried tissue, in tubes or plates.

  • Sample preparation: We’ll handle all necessary subsampling and reformatting, including lyophilization for plant samples when applicable.

  • Two extraction attempts: Each sample undergoes up to two extraction attempts. The first uses our best-fit protocol, and the second—if needed—incorporates protocol adjustments based on initial results.

  • Comprehensive quality control: You’ll receive a detailed QC report for each extraction attempt, including DNA yield (mass) and morphology analysis via TapeStation.

  • Post-extraction options: We can proceed directly to downstream myReads® workflows, return the extracted DNA to you (shipping fees apply), or store it for up to one year (long-term storage fees may apply).
