P rocessing fee includes all wet bench molecular biology for target preparation including RNA validation, cDNA synthesis and validation, cRNA synthesis and sample archival. Each sample fee also includes target spikes for assay control and sensitivity.
Every sample is run over a test chip and analyzed prior to expression analysis.
All hybridization, washing, staining and scanning procedures are completed by the core facility and are included in the target preparation fee. Finally, all investigators will receive an analysis consultation that includes an overview of bioinformatics tools supplied by the core facility and investigators will have full access to all core supported bioinformatics tools for a 6-month period from project completion. After that time there will be an hourly fee for the use of core workstations. Processing fees can be paid at time of data turn over.
