A National facility established in 1951 FORM FOR DNA SEQUENCING SAMPLE SUBMISSION Please contact NCIM by email before sending the samples Type of sample – Culture/clone library/metagenomic library/ PCR products/plasmid DNA Type of microorganism- Bacteria/ Fungi/ Yeasts/ Algae/ any other-(Please fill, sign and print and submit hard copy/scanned hard copy) I] User’s information Name of Principal Investigator PI/ Scientist/any other Prof./Dr./Mr./Mrs. Address for correspondence Address for invoice/bill (if different than above) Contact information (STD/ISD code) Tel, Mobile Fax Email Researcher’s information (If different than PI) Number of samples for Partial sequence (~600 bp) using one primer Number of samples for Complete sequence (more than 1200 bp) using Forward and reverse primers Total Number of samples (Samples x primer) Total amount (INR) Demand Draft details (Check Fee structure) Bank details- DD NumberDateDD (plus Service charge 12.36%) should be in the name of ‘Director, National Chemical Laboratory’, Payable at Pune. No cash please. Note: Samples from CSIR institutes/labs will be exempted from service charge. Samples posted on dd/mm/yyyy II] Sample information (If only strains are provided then fill only template name information. Rest of columns should be blank) PlasmidPurification method- PCR product- Others- Pleas attach separate sheet for additional samples. Template name and plate name are the same. Sr. No. Strain/Template provided (e.g. A1) Template conc. (ng/ µl) Only for PCR product Product Size (bp) Only for PCR product /clone Sequencing Primer Provide 10pmol/µl (Optional) Do you want to deposit this strain in NCIM? If yes then read # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 # Please attach soft copy of deposit form duly filled. NCIM will accept the strain of industrial and/or taxonomic value. Instructions for sample preparation and posting: Provide template and/or primers in dissolved in PCR grade water. Do not use EDTA based buffers; it may strongly inhibit sequencing reaction. Provide samples in 0.2ml/ thin walled tubes. Use parafilm to tighten the sample tubes or culture plates. Contaminated culture plates/slants will not be accepted. They need to be pure and possibly well isolated. III] Template Information: Choose from following. Purified plasmid DNA (provide 10µl of sample at 75-100 ng/µl) Purified PCR product (provide 10µl of sample at 30-40ng/µl) ss -Single stranded M13/phagemid DNA/ (provide 10µl of purified sample at 30-50 ng/µl) Purified genomic DNA- 200-300 ng/µl in 10 µl volume. Please limit labels on tube to a max.5 characters. Enclose a gel picture for quantification and product quality. (OPTIONAL) Any other primers- please provide 10 µl primers (10 picomple/µl concentration) Undertaking/Agreement I/We understood the norms and hence undertake to abide by the sample preparation guidelines. I/We submit the sample(s) in good faith and NCIM will not be held responsible for loss/damage due to reason(s) beyond its control. I/We shall give due acknowledgement to the facility in the results so published in thejournals. Signature of Researcher with date Signature of Principal investigator (Date and seal) FOR NCIM OFFICE USE ONLY Received by- Received on- Material intactness- Good / Bad Processing person- Started on- Sequences ready on- Results sent to end user on- Ref/File information- Note: If PCR product is provided, the failed samples would be re-run only one time free of cost. Fresh submission of same PCR product will be considered new submission and hence will be charged. Use chromas lite and similar softwares to open .seq files. Can be freely downloaded from internet. Kindly note that results are usually provided to the user in minimum 3-4 working weeks or earlier depending upon number of samples given to us. Users can contact us by email if they do not hear from us within this time. Imp. Note-Cultures or sequencing samples should reach at NCIM-NCL by speed post or tracking based overnight shipment; no acknowledgement will be given to end-user.
