Sample Preparation Services

At 1st BASE, we have the in-house expertise in processing samples for downstream molecular biology applications routinely. Researchers may depend on us to process their samples for their processes without fuss. 

Services include:

  • Genomic DNA Extraction from environmental samples (e.g. water, sludge, fecal, soil and etc.), animal tissues, animal blood/ saliva, insect, fungi, bacteria, plant leaves, plant fruits and plant seeds.
  • Total RNA Extraction from environmental samples (e.g. soil), animal tissues, animal blood, insect, fungi, bacteria, plant leaves, plant fruits and plant seeds
  • RNA analysis by Labchip/ Biochip
  • DNA Digestion by RE
  • Plasmid Preparation for various yield from 2ug to 1000ug.
  • Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR) from total RNA to cDNA

The process of sample preparation is tedious and the amount of samples are typically limited for research. To maximise success for each sample preparation service, we advise our customers on how to collect and submit the samples within the acceptable terms and conditions. Such information is also available in each of the respective order forms. Minimum setup fee will apply when sample preparation service fails due to bad quality of sample that did not meet the prescribed terms and conditions.
