GENE PANELS
EXOME - CARDIOMYOPATHIES (CM)
Sample types
We aim to keep the list with sample types updated. However, if you believe we offer this gene panel on other sample types, or if you have a very specific sample type you'd like to evaluate : please contact the corresponding persons for either diagnostic or research purposes.
* Microtube can be a either a cryovial or eppendorf tube (0,5 ; 1,5 or 2 ml). Please consider the quality of the tube used (nuclease free ; free of RNA/DNA ; sterile ; LoBind) according to application needed.

Extra requirements
Absorbance ratio A260/A230 - Minimum
DNA from various tissues
Minimum: 1,5
Lower values are indicative for indicative for EDTA, carbohydrate, chaotropic salts (and also protein) contamination
Absorbance ratio A260/A280 - Minimum
DNA from various tissues
Minimum: 1,5
Lower values are indicative for indicative for protein, phenol or other aromatic compound contamination
Elution buffer : nuclease free water, Tris-HCl or TE
DNA from various tissues
:
Please use nuclease free elution buffers, however this assay is compatible with either water, Tris-HCl as TE.
Minimum DNA concentration
DNA from various tissues
Minimum: 7,7 ng/µl
A minimum concentration of 7,7 ng/µl is required, however succesfull experiments are possible below this limit.
Minimum DNA quantity
DNA from various tissues
Minimum: 200 ng
We prefer delivery of at least 1 µg of DNA

Costs
For Diagnostic testing
When requested through your General Practitioner / Clinical Geneticist / Pathologist / Hematologist, costs will be covered through your health insurance. The costs involved will be those for your consultation and/or 'remgeld'.
​
For Research testing
Below, you can find indicative prices (excl. VAT) for all potential options you'd require to accomplish your project. If you are interested, please contact us to receive a tailored quotation.
Update pending
Our prices are being updated. More info soon.

Plan experiment
For Diagnostics
This test is mainly performed as a diagnostic assay. In this case, please contact your General Practitioner or Clinical Geneticist (Centre for Medical Genetics of choice) to get the diagnosis started.
For Research
This test can also be applied in context of research. For this, please get approval from your local ethical committee and/or make proper arrangements with your Biobank.
Please follow the steps below to start up an experiment with us.
Get in touch (ONLY FOR NEW PROJECTS)
Explain your project, so we can assist you to find the best solution.
Expect questions like :
What type of sample would you like to analyze?
Which elution buffer did you use?
What are the expected concentrations of your samples?
How many samples would you like to process?
How fast do you need the results (TAT) and/or do we need to expedite?
If you deviate from our sample types, are there test samples available?
Are our standard deliverables ok?

Request quotation
Once you know which experiment you want to set up, fill out the 'Quote request' form, with the essential details of your project :
Coordinates of the person to whom to address the quotation
Which type of test you'd like to set up
Do you require a specific deliverable?
Do we need to expedite (comes at extra cost)?
...
2
Submit your samples
Once you agree with our terms (quote / TAT / terms & conditions) :
Fill out our sample submission form
Send it via email : contact us
Print out the form and include it with your samples
Send your samples to us
Label your tubes/plates correctly : see details here
Adhere to the corresponding transport conditions listed under Sample types
Indicate if we can discard your samples after completion of project
3
Your experiment starts
Now it is up to us... We will start your experiment as soon as possible.
When expedited, the turn-around-time (TAT) is 1 month
For standard requests the turn-around-time (TAT) is 2 months
The standard TAT is generally overestimated, but this extended timeframe allows us to : combine similar requests of multiple scientists and to repeat the experiment in case of issues.
Please refrain from contacting us in case the pre-agreed TAT didn't expire yet.
