Technical resources

We recommend downloading and reading the relevant support materials before beginning any sample preparation.

We appreciate that projects represent a significant investment to our collaborators and have prepared the application specific guidelines below. Samples submitted to the CGR that do not meet our specified requirements may perform poorly in QC, library preparation or sequencing and may, therefore, lead to delays and additional costs.

If you have any questions or concerns relating to our sample requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us.
