instructions

From sample prep to ready reads.

Prepare Illumina-style libraries, upload one sample sheet, ship samples in an Om mailer, and get private paired-read batches back without cloud infrastructure, service accounts, JSON keys, or huge file transfer setup.

before submitting

Make the sample sheet the source of truth.

Use your own sample IDs and dual-index sequences. Sequence keeps those mappings attached to the shipment and the data you get back.

Prepare Illumina-style libraries

Use libraries with P5/P7 adapters, i5/i7 indexes, and sequencing primer sites compatible with Illumina machines.

Choose customer sample IDs

Use the names you want back in your results. These IDs travel from the CSV to the ready data.

Confirm read credits

Add subscription or top-up credits first. The dashboard shows the maximum reads you can submit from your available balance.

submit samples

Upload one CSV, then print the code that travels with the samples.

You do not need to type every barcode into a long form. Import the sheet, review the generated tracking IDs, then include the printed insert in the mailer.

  1. 01

    Download the CSV template

    Fill in customer_sample_id, i5_sequence, i7_sequence, and requested_reads for every sample.

  2. 02

    Import the sample sheet

    Upload one CSV in the dashboard. Sequence validates the sheet and generates Om sample IDs for the shipment.

  3. 03

    Print the mailer insert

    Place the printed submission code and sample map inside the return mailer so Om can match receipt to your account.

mail samples

Ambient Om mailer for every shipment.

Request a Sequence mailer, seal the labeled samples, include the printed submission insert, then print and apply the prepaid return label before sending it back to Om.

Confirm your Om mailer

Add a default shipping address and confirm the starter Om mailer. Every accepted submission requests one replacement mailer automatically.

Seal samples before shipping

Label tubes or plate positions with your customer sample IDs and seal them with parafilm. No ice or dry ice is required.

Ship ambient

Put the sealed samples and printed insert into the Om mailer, then print and apply the prepaid return label before sending it back to Om.

ready data

Open batches from the dashboard or pull them into a pipeline.

Sequence returns private paired-read batches so you can work without cloud-storage setup or massive raw-file transfers.

Track receipt and processing

The dashboard shows submission state as samples move from received to processing to ready data.

Open ready data

Ready data stays private to your account. Generate a private data link when you want to open or download the file.

Stream into analysis

Use a Sequence access key to list ready data and pull paired-read batches into your own pipeline without cloud keys.
