How to Submit Projects

Sample Drop-off

Our sample collection box for Sanger samples only is located on a small table in the 2nd floor lobby of Steger Hall across from the reception desk (in front of our lab windows). The hours for sample drop-off are 8:00am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday.

If you have samples for services other than Sanger sequencing, please email the GSC to arrange a time to drop off your samples. When you arrive in the 2nd floor lobby, please call the lab at (540) 231-1229 and one of us will meet you to receive your samples.
