ASSISTED versus WALKUP SERVICES
Services available in the BioMicro Center are offered either as assisted or as walk-up. Walk-up Services are those where the Center provides training and maintenance of equipment and may also provide some consumables. Scheduling for Walk-up services is available through the calendar functions on ilabs and are almost exclusively limited to MIT users except in rare cases. Non-MIT users should contact biomicro@mit.edu to schedule walk-up equipment.
Assisted services are those where samples are delivered to the BioMicro Center and are analyzed by Center staff. These are set up using the FORMS on this site or the "Request Services" tab in ilabs. Assisted services cannot typically be "scheduled" with rare exceptions.
STANDARD versus HIGH THROUGHPUT LIBRARY PREPARATION
Standard library preparation is designed to maximize successful production of libraries and is used for routine work and should also be used for all precious samples. Standard library preparation includes initial sample quality control as well as at least one repeat for each library preparation if required due to sample failure. Standard library preparation is charged on a per sample basis. Standard libraries may be prepared by hand or using automation depending on throughput of the core.
