Protocols

  • We use your existing protocol for established conditions.
  • We develop or optimize new assays for new genotyping submissions.
  • All polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) require the following:
    1. primers;
    2. your reference protocol; and
    3. positive control.

Sample submissions

  • We prefer tail snips and ear punches as samples for genotyping. However, we also accept other tissue types such as brain, embryo and liver, upon your request.
  • Samples should be collected, labeled properly and kept at -20˚C prior to pick up.
  • Please submit your samples with our requisition form (PDF, 56 KB).
  • Contact us to arrange for pick-up or shipping at genotype@sri.utoronto.ca or 416-480-6100 ext. 67096.

Report results

  • PCR results will be reported within three to seven days, depending on the number of samples.
  • Results for new PCR may require additional time due to optimization.

Billing

  • Charges will vary based on number of the tests. Please contact us at genotype@sri.utoronto.ca or 416-480-6100 ext. 67096, for more information.
