After submitting your order to the NGI portal, you will be contacted by the project coordinator(s) at the NGI facility with more information on sample requirements and means of delivery.
Please note that samples cannot be submitted to the NGI facility until your project has been accepted in the NGI Order portal, you have received a project code, and received, signed and returned your agreement.
For any further queries on sample delivery and sample requirements, please get in touch with one of our project coordinators.
NGI offers a large variety of library preparation kits, sequencing instruments and genotyping applications, all with different minimum requirements for sample delivery and may also vary depending on required amount of data and research question.
To find the sample requirements relevant to your project, please visit the NGI webpage specific for that method or kit. If in doubt, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
Note that NGI will perform a quality control of the samples to ensure that the quality and quantity is sufficient for library preparation and sequencing, or genotyping.
Once you have signed and returned your agreement to us, and fulfilled our sample delivery instructions, you will be able to submit samples for sequencing or genotyping.
Before sending your samples by courier or delivering them in person, please contact a project coordinator.
Samples can be delivered in person after time is agreed or be sent by courier.

When NGI has received: 1) a signed agreement, 2) the samples, and 3) valid sample information, the samples will be assigned an arrival date. Please note that NGI cannot accept any samples without a project code and a signed agreement.
Quality Control (QC) of samples will be performed within 10 working days of the arrival date. If the samples do not pass our QC, we will let the researcher decide if replacement samples should be sent, or if NGI should proceed with the available samples. This decision has certain implications on how NGI handles the samples, see the agreement.
The samples are queued for subsequent steps when all samples have passed arrival QC. This date is the queue date.
