1. Project Request

To start a project, please inform us about your samples, by sending an email to pcs (at) bioscience.fi or anapap (at) utu.fi. Alternatively, you may fill in the Sample submission form.

Once your message has been received, we will arrange with you a project initiation meeting. During this meeting, the experiments and sample preparation will be discussed and the cost and schedule will be estimated for your project.

2. Training and reservation for instrument time

Training is necessary to have access to the instruments. You can request a training session by e-mail. Once trained, you will have to book the instruments you want to use, via our reservation system.

3. Sample shipment

If you need to send samples, please follow the instructions below.

The samples should be sent well packed with enough ice/gel packs (preferably with no dry ice) using the courier of your choice. Usually it’s safer to send samples in the beginning of the week, especially when shipping from abroad.

Please inform us when you have shipped your samples so we would know when to expect them. You may also send us your delivery tracking code if available.

If you are located nearby you can also bring your samples here directly. In this case, also please contact us first.
