DELIVERING SAMPLES TO THE CAT
RNA and DNA samples:
IF USING THE HEALTH SCIENCES COURIER:
The CAT is located off campus in the Rosen Building. Every day a courier picks up samples on the UW campus for delivery to the CAT. If you would like to use this service, take your samples and completed paperwork to K325 before 11am. To the left of K325 there is a cold room. Inside the cold room is a Styrofoam box with dry ice. Place your samples in this box.
OTHERWISE:
Place samples in a Ziploc bag with the paperwork. Put the bag in a Styrofoam box with enough dry ice to maintain samples for up to 24 hours. Deliver to the CAT during normal business hours (8-5, M-F). We are located at 960 Republican Street. Come to the front door and call 2-6048 or 2-6049 to be let into the building.
