Sample and Data Storage Policies

GOLD-STANDARD SERVICE AND OPERATIONS

HIDDEN

Sample and data storage require smart configuration and compliant laboratory management to ensure accurate and reliable research and testing results. At SeqMatic, we understand the critical importance of these factors. To that end, our laboratory adheres to rigorous protocols, integrates advanced technology, and implements all clinical laboratory improvement amendments to support the success of laboratory operations.

From initial tracking to secure storage, every step of our sample management process is designed to maintain sample integrity. This meticulous approach gives researchers and scientists the confidence that their results accurately reflect the testing and research conducted.

But our commitment to excellence goes beyond just sample management. In addition, we also recognize the importance of proper data storage and management. By adhering to laboratory regulations and best practices, we ensure that all data is secure, organized, and easily accessible when needed.

The content on this page provides more information about SeqMatic’s laboratory sample and data storage policies. You’ll learn how our dedication to compliance, security, and quality contributes to the advancement of scientific knowledge and discovery. Moreover, by partnering with SeqMatic, researchers and scientists can trust that their valuable samples and data are in good hands, allowing them to focus on the work that matters most.

Sample Storage Policy

If you require your unused samples to be returned, please coordinate with your SeqMatic representative prior to sample submission. Note that sample return shipments will be subject to additional shipping and handling fees. Important: Customer-prepared sequencing libraries and primers are not eligible for return. Regarding other samples, including tissues, cultures, RNA, DNA, sequencing libraries generated by SeqMatic, these will be discarded 14 days after the data is released. For library preparation orders without sequencing, samples are discarded 30 days after the libraries are delivered.

Data Storage Policy

Sequencing data is delivered via a secure FTP server (or equivalent per the customer’s instructions); subsequently, it will be available for 90 days. Importantly, customers are responsible for the retrieval and backup of all data files. SeqMatic cannot guarantee the availability of data files 90 days after the date of data delivery, and additional processing fees may apply for re-uploading data after this timeframe. If you require assistance retrieving your data from our servers, please contact your SeqMatic representative for support.
