Shipping Instructions
Below are guidelines for shipping samples to Abterra Biosciences. Please contact our support team if you have any questions. We recommend shipping by Wednesday of each week to ensure samples arrive before the weekend.
ALICANTO®
Protein Antigens
- Quantity: 2.5mg for most projects, aliquoted into <0.5mg
- Concentration: at least 0.25 mg/mL.
- Buffer: Buffer in pH range 6-8, free of detergents.
- Temperature: Ice packs or dry ice, depending on antigen
- Other: Wrap the vial in parafilm and place into a ziploc bag to prevent leakage.
REPTOR™
Cells (1M+) for BCR sequencing
- Quantity: 1M – 5M cells
- Concentration: 1:10 in RNALater
- Buffer: RNALater
- Temperature: Pack on dry ice and use overnight shipping.
Tissue for BCR sequencing
- Quantity: Varies depending on application, but to ensure RNA quality pieces should be no larger than 1cm in any dimension.
- Concentration: 1:10 in RNALater
- Buffer: RNALater
- Temperature: Pack on dry ice and use overnight shipping.
Hybridomas (1-15) for sequencing
- Quantity: 100K to 500K cells per hybridoma
- Concentration: 1:10 in RNALater
- Buffer: RNALater
- Temperature: Pack on dry ice and use overnight shipping.
Hybridomas (16+) for high-throughput sequencing
- Quantity: 100K to 500K cells per hybridoma in a plate (see below).
- Concentration: 1:10 in RNALater
- Buffer: RNALater
- Temperature: Pack on dry ice and use overnight shipping.
Shipping in plates
-
Hybridomas should be shipped in fully skirted 96 well storage plates (e.g. ThermoFisher #267245), as they are more rigid than non-skirted plates.
Plates should be sealed with foil sealing tape (such as VWR #89049-034). -
Wrap the perimeter of the plates with parafilm to protect edges of sealing tape.
-
Cut two pieces of cardboard the size of the plates, and secure cardboard pieces on both sides of the plates by wrapping tape around. This will protect both the plate from being damaged or the tape from being pierced.
-
Plate can be further wrapped in bubble wrap if desired. Finally, place each wrapped plate in a ziplock bag.
VALENS™
Antibodies and proteins for sequencing
- Quantity: 100ug
- Concentration: 1 ug/uL
- Purity: 90%
- Buffer: Neutral buffer (e.g. PBS)
- Temperature: Pack on dry ice and use overnight shipping.
