    To prevent delivery issues, please contact us if you do not receive a receipt confirmation from us.

Shipping Method


  • Please send samples in 1.5 mL tubes. Avoid using 0.2 mL or 0.5 mL tubes as they are more prone to breakage during transport.
  • Label the cap or the side of the tube with the sample name (or primer name).
  • Seal with Parafilm to prevent leakage.
  • Place the tubes in a box or wrap them with cushioning material.
  • Include sufficient cooling material and send via standard or frozen delivery.

  • Label the cap and the side of the tube with the branch number. If it’s a primer tube, please indicate this.
  • Seal with Parafilm to prevent leakage.
  • Place the tubes in a box or wrap them with cushioning material.
  • Include sufficient cooling material and send via standard or frozen delivery.

  • Label the plate with its name or number.
  • Use adhesive or aluminum seals to secure the cover tightly.
  • Place the plate in a box or wrap it with cushioning material to prevent inversion during transport.
  • Include sufficient cooling material or dry ice and send via frozen delivery (in a frozen state).

Sample Shipping Precautions

  • – To prevent accidental damage or contamination (e.g., cracked or broken tubes, loose caps), please ensure samples are properly protected during shipping. We are not responsible for losses or damages that occur during transport.
  • Please ensure that the samples arrive on weekdays between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. We do not accept deliveries on weekends or public holidays.
  • – Samples and primers used in sequencing analysis will be discarded after being stored for 3 business days following the completion of the analysis.
  • – The shipping cost is the customer’s responsibility.
    However, if you order eight or more analyses at once, you can use either [1] any delivery service with freight collect or [2] our designated Nippon Express shipping label (shipping cost covered by us). Please contact us if you need the Nippon Express shipping label.

Notes on Using Sequencing Analysis

Please understand the following points regarding the characteristics of sequencing analysis.

Reading Range
Due to the nature of capillary electrophoresis, the beginning of the read (approximately the first few tens of bases from the 3′ end of the primer) has poor resolution and is difficult to analyze. As a result, the sequence of the primer used in sequencing cannot be obtained as data.
Factors Affecting Data Quality
The success rate of sequencing analysis depends on the DNA sample’s concentration, purity, and base composition. Please note that special sequences (e.g., homopolymers, polyA, polyT, GC-rich regions, repeats) may result in poor or no data. It is challenging to obtain good data following homopolymers like polyT.
Annealing Temperature
Cycle sequencing reactions are typically annealed at 50°C. When providing custom primers, please be mindful of the primer’s Tm value.
Using Mixed Primers
Using mixed primers can lower the success rate of sequencing analysis. Variability in the molecular weight of cycle sequencing reaction products can reduce the accuracy of base calling.
