Prices Charged For Library Preparation:

•  mRNA Library Preparation: $175 per library prepared.

•  Small RNA library preparation: Individual libraries with unique indices may be pooled (max 8 libraries) and gel purified together. $400, $380, $360,......$260/library for 1, 2, 3,......8 mixed libraries with pooled and combined gel purification method. More than 8 samples will charge by combination.

•  Total (FFPE) RNA library preparation: $240 per library prepared.

Prices Charged For Microarray Analyses:

Gene Expression Microarrays

The charge for each sample for labeling, hybridization, scanning of arrays, and quality analysis of data based on spiked-in controls when available:

Lineberger Cancer Center Members:

•  1 color label method, using 4-array chip: $127/sample

•  2 color label method, using 4-array chip: $211/sample(4 samples with same reference), $288/sample (4 samples, each with different reference)

•  1 color label method, using 8-array chip: $113/sample

•  2 color label method, using 8-array chip: $185/sample (8 samples with same reference), $274/sample (8 samples, each with different reference)

All other UNC investigators using a UNC grant number:

•  1 color label method, using 4-array chip: $148/sample

•  2 color label method, using 4-array chip: $247/sample (4 samples with same reference), $337/sample (4 samples, each with different reference)

•  1 color label method, using 8-array chip: $132/sample

•  2 color label method, using 8-array chip: $216/sample (8 samples with same reference), $321/sample (8 samples, each with different reference)

MicroRNA Microarrays

The charge of Genomics Core for each sample labeling and hybridization:

•  For Lineberger Member: $164/sample

•  For all others use UNC grant number: $197/sample

CHG Microarrays

The charge of Genomics Core for each sample labeling and hybridization:

•  For Lineberger Member: $179/sample (if use 4-array chip), $247/sample (if use 1-array chip)

•  For all others use UNC grant number: $215/sample (if use 4-array chip), $298/sample (if use 1-array chip)

Prices Charged for Quality and Concentration Measurements of RNA and DNA:

NanoDrop and Qubit

RNA and DNA concentrations are measured by Nanodrop Spectrophotometer and by Qubit Fluorometer.

•  Price for using Nanodrop: $2 per measurement

•  Price for using Qubit (only for dsDNA): $4 per measurement

Bioanalyzer and TapeStation

RNA and DNA size and integrity is measured by electrophoresis using the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 and Agilent TapeStation 2200. The chips analyze from 1 to 11, 12, or 15 samples depending on the platform. The chips are consumed by the measurement. Thus the cost of measuring is not for each sample but for each chip or tape, $42/chip or tape.
