Deliverables
As part of the DiscovArray miRNA Expression Profiling Service, you will receive Asuragen’s miRInform Data Delivery System containing your data in an easy-to-understand package with these benefits:
To ensure security, all information is provided in an electronic form on a DVD. Encryption is available on request. Data may also be delivered by FTP or e-mail.
Quality Control
During our processes, we monitor many QC checkpoints. As much as possible, we utilize spike-in controls, in-process sample controls, and process or reagent batch controls. Should any sample-specific QC measure result in an “alert” or “fail” reading, we will contact you to discuss available options. These rigorous procedures enable Asuragen to be the only service provider to offer a Data Quality Guarantee:

Turn-around Time
Most projects are completed in two weeks or less. If you have a critical time requirement, we can often meet your need for no additional charge. Read more about our commitment to prompt turn-around times.
