Turnaround Time
We are routing new projects/orders into several parallel queues in order to enhance the Expected Turnaround Time (ETT) at GGBC. Projects/orders are processed inside each queue in the order in which the samples arrived at GGBC. The various queues and their current ETT are listed below and posted on GGBC’s website. The ETT excludes 1) the time it takes for the researcher to submit replacement samples, 2) the time needed to deal with challenging samples or instrumentation problems, and 3) weekends and holidays. We shall notify the researcher as soon as we become aware of any issues that may affect the ETT of their projects.
Important notes:
- In order for a project to be placed in the proper queue, a full order must be submitted through FBS, a payment method must be supplied on the order form, and the samples must have arrived at GGBC. If any of these three prerequisites is not satisfied, the project will be put on hold until all requirements are completed.
- The ETT begins on the working day after the samples are received at GGBC.
- The ETT indicated in the table below will be updated on a regular basis. Please check this table on the GGBC website as needed.
Turnaround Time
| Queue Name | Queue Description | Expected turnaround time (working days) | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| R2S-q | Ready to sequence pools | 10 - 15 | |
| R2P-q | Ready to pool and sequence | 10 – 15 | |
| SC-q | 10X Single Cell | 10 - 15 | Cells are treated immediately upon arrival, followed by library preparation. When the library is finished, it is added to the queue of ready-to-sequence pools. |
| SpG-q | Spatial genomics | 20 - 25 | |
| ILL-q | RNAseq/DNAseq/Metgenomic projects | 20 - 25 | Assuming One plate of samples and one sequencing run. Larger projects MAY take longer time. |
| Mbiom-q | Microbiome projects | 20 - 25 | Assuming One plate of samples and one sequencing run. Larger projects MAY take longer time. |
| ONT-q | ONT projects | 10 – 15 | |
| QC-q | QC orders (mainly FA, BA, Qubit) | 2 - 5 | |
| BinF-q | Bioinformatics | 20 - 25 | Projects requiring the usage of pipelines we haven't utilized previously MAY take longer to complete. |
