A meeting is required with Biotechnology Core staff prior to initiating a project. Staff will develop a quote for the agreed upon service(s). The user will be billed for cost and labor per quote regardless of outcome. All samples are assumed to be safe and no greater than BSL1, unless otherwise agreed upon in advance. The user must follow all SIU sample acquisition, movement, and safety protocols.
To discuss future projects, request a cost estimate, or ask about services not listed below including data analysis by third-party provider, please contact Christopher Barkau at chrisbarkau@siu.edu.
