Important notice!

Please under no circumstances post samples to us before you receive your barcode numbers or strain tubes.

Christmas Shutdown

Please note that we will be closed over the Christmas period from 18th December - 4th January.

If you would like to send us samples prior to this break they must be received in our lab by 11th December to ensure that they are appropriately logged and stored. Following this, all samples accepted onto our system will automatically progress through our pipeline upon our return on the 4th of January.

If you have any questions relating to this, please let us know.

Thank you, MicrobesNG Team

Strain submission criteria

As well as sequencing genomes, we also wish to archive strains as part of this service.

However, in order to send live strains you must meet the following criteria:

The genus taxonomy of the strain is known.
The strains should be Hazard Groups 1 or 2 (Biosafety Levels 1 or 2) as defined in “The Approved List of biological agents” from UK’s Health and Safety Executive (HSE) (https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/misc208.pdf), and not on the DEFRA list of plant pathogens
The strains must be bacterial (we do not accept live viruses or eukaryotes) - for non-bacterial samples please send DNA free of viable organisms
The strains must not be Genetically modified microorganisms (GMMs). GMMs are organisms whose genes have been artificially altered to modify their characteristics in some way or another. A more detailed definition of what constitutes a genetic modification that makes a microorganism genetically modified can be found in UK’s HSE “The Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) Regulations 2014" (https://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/l29.pdf) (see Guidance 2 in Page 12, and Schedule 2 in pages 59-60).
The strains must not be listed on the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, SCHEDULE 5 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2001/24/schedule/5?view=plain)

PLEASE NOTE: If any of your samples do not comply with any of the above we can still accept them as DNA.
