For UIUC Users:
Fill out the sample submission online form and bring the samples to Room 41B Noyes Lab. Use the computer in this room to check them in. Samples must be checked in so that lab staff knows the samples have been brough to the lab. Your samples will not be run unless they are properly submitted online and checked in. Samples must be placed in the sample holders or in the freezer in Room 41B unless "call for sample" is indicated on the form. Completed samples are placed in the freezer door if you requested lab staff to keep the unused samples cold. If you have any questions about sample submission, sample check in or where to place the samples, you may ask any lab staff member to help you.
