Labeling Procedures


⦁ All samples MUST be labelled or bar-coded and an Excel sheet provided that lists all samples being submitted for MS analysis.

⦁ Labels must be placed on both the lids and sides of the tubes, with water resistant markers or bar code tags.

⦁ The labelling nomenclature should be unique to each sample and contain the Principal Investigator (PI) initials (two letters), (underscore), submitter student's initials (two letters) (underscore) followed by a 4 digit ID number.  For instance, the 39th sample being submitted by user Arya Stark whose PI is John Snow would be labelled JS_AS_0039.

⦁ To prevent loss of sample tubes, all tubes MUST be in a Microtube Storage Box.

⦁ All Storage boxes MUST have a tag in the lid containing all important information about samples. A suggested format is shown below:

Note:  All submitted samples must come with an Excel sheet that gives details on samples being submitted. If a sheet is not provided, the submitted samples will be placed in cold storage until such a sheet is provided.
