Lambda DNA (LMD). Pack of six vials

This is compatible with all DNA sequencing kits.

Information

This kit contains six vials of Lambda DNA for performing a Lambda Control Experiment.

Lambda DNA is 48 kb long and serves as a good model system to evaluate the nanopore sequencing workflow.Control experiments should be carried out when users are getting started with an Oxford Nanopore device, or when troubleshooting library preparation.

The Control Expansion Kit features:

Shipping and logistics:.

Flow cells and kits are shipped together in an environmentally friendly temperature-controlled shipping box.

Products are shipped to customers within the USA and EU Monday to Thursday. Shipments to Canada, Norway, Korea and Japan are expedited Monday to Wednesday; with Australia and New Zealand leaving our warehouses on a Friday. Shipments to the rest of the world are made on Mondays to allow the full working week for packages to arrive.

The delivery charges are calculated when a quote is raised or during checkout. Once an order is made, the delivery ID and delivery information can be tracked in the Store.
