TM S Assay Service
Overview & Price / Workflow / Sample Requirements & Shipment
Overview & Price


We provide microarray analysis service using Clariom™ S Assay of Thermo Fisher Scientific. We analyze your total RNA with microarrays of the species of your choice and deliver the results (i.e. CEL files). We offer this service as an Authorized Service Provider of Thermo Fisher Scientific.



GeneChipTM Scanner 3000 7G System

Clariom™ S Assay is a next generation gene expression profiling tool for human, mouse and rat testing to provide a view of transcriptome at gene level. The Clariom assays provide extensive coverage of well-annotated known genes. They are compatible with clinical research samples and available in scalable formats with flexible analysis software. Clariom™ S Assay is the best tool to find well-characterized biomarkers quickly and easily at low cost.

Workflow



1. Sample Shipment

Ship the samples to the “Shipping Address” with a completed QC sheet and a signed disclaimer agreement.
*For more information on sample requirements, please refer to “Sample Requirements & Shipment ” section.
*For sample shipping instructions and precautions, please refer to the document “Sample Submission”.
*Once you have shipped your samples, please notify our representative orof the tracking number.

 Analysis Service Dept. Filgen, Inc.
 1409, Jonoyama 1-Chome, Midori-ku, Nagoya, Aichi-pref. 459-8011 JAPAN
 *Please make sure to include completed QC Sheet and signed Disclaimer Agreement in the package.

2. Sample QC

We conduct sample QC (Quality Control) assessment with Agilent 4150 TapeStation or Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. When the samples pass the QC, we proceed to the step "3. Amplification and Labeling".

*If the sample fails to pass the QC (i.e. RIN ≦ 7.0), we report the result and ask you to decide whether to replace, proceed or drop the sample from the analysis. If you decide to send replacement, we will charge you for 5,000 JPY/sample as QC fee. If you decide to cancel the analysis, we will charge you for all costs incurred by us (e.g., RNA extraction, QC and any other labors).

3. Amplification and Labeling

By using GeneChip™ WT PLUS Reagent Kit, the RNA samples are processed for cDNA synthesis, cRNA amplification and ss-cDNA synthesis, followed by fragmentation and terminal labeling.

4. Hybridization

With “GeneChip™ Hybridization, Wash, and Stain Kit” and the automated system “GeneChip™ Scanner 3000 7G System”, the samples are hybridized to the microarrays followed by wash and stain.

5. Scanning


The microarrays are scanned with GeneChip™ Scanner 3000 7G to generate image files.
6. Delivering Results

CEL files and QC reports are delivered. Our turnaround time is approx. 15 business days after the samples pass the QC.

Analysis Tool: Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) Software
Thermo Fisher Scientific free software “Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC) Software ” is available for conducting various analysis such as differential expression, hierachical clustering, pathway analysis on the CEL files. Please refer to Thermo Fisher Scientific website to dowonload TAC Software and learn how to use.


Sample Require & Shipment

(Agilent)
Purity
(NanoDrop

Total RNA ≧500ng
(0.1μg/μL)
Nuclease-free H2O ≧7.0 ・O.D.260/O.D.280>1.6
・O.D.260/O.D.230>1.6
Total RNA should be dissolved in Nuclease-free H2O and stored at -80℃.
For sample submission, please use Nuclease-free 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL tube and seal its cap with parafilm strip.
Only RIN assessment is conducted using Agilent 4150 TapeStation or Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. Our RNA QC assessment doesn’t check sample concentration and O.D. ratio. Please perform those assessments and record the results on the QC Sheet before submitting the samples. The final sample quality will be determined based on our QC assessment.

Precaustions
Please ensure that the samples are dissolved in RNase-free/DNase-free H2O.
Do not use buffers containing detergents, DEPC or high ionic strength (e.g., >10 mM TE, > 10 mM NH4 Acetate) as those may negatively affect accurate QC assessment and reverse transcription.
When you submit clinical human samples, please acquire the informed consents from your patients. We are not responsibile for any problems related to, including but not limited to, intelectual property rights, industrial property rights, safety or informed consents arising from our work.
Ship the samples on sufficient amount of dry ice, and use appropriate courier (e.g., FedEx, World Courier). Customer shall be responsible for any problems related to the shipment.
Arrange for your shipment to arrive your package on our business days (9:00am – 5:00pm).
We work based on the submitted QC Sheet. If the sheet is not provided to us or the sheet is incomplete, we may be unable to perform analysis.
When the customer ships replacements for QC failed samples, the shipment cost shall be taken care by the customer.
In the event of cancellation of the project, we will charge the customer for all costs incurred by us. If you cancel the project after the replacement sample failed QC, the QC fee will be calculated based on the total number of samples (i.e. the first submitted samples plus the replacement samples). In the case of 5 samples + 5 replacements (10 samples in total), the total QC fee will be 10 times of QC fee/sample.
Our turnaround time may be longer than those indicated in this page or our documents because of summer/winter breaks, national holidays, order rushes, etc.
Filgen doesn’t return the samples. The samples will be destroyed after delivering results. For the data, we will delete it 90 days after delivering.
