To submit your own items for listing, email the following information to the Genomics Core:
Note-1: All items with LSU Tags must be properly transferred on the inventory logs to the new owner.
Note-2: Requests to 'hold' an item are not binding; thus, the item will become yours only when you take physical possession of it.
Note-3: As maintenance of this particular page is not a high priority, items might remain listed for some time after their disposal.
Free items
GC items are available in in the Core (A628, LSA); for other items, use the contact information in the listing.
Expiration Dates: Please note that kits are often fully functional long past expiration dates... which are based on solely on the longest storage date for which the product was officially validated rather than on how long the product is functional. Typically, how the kit components were treated and stored is more important than the official expiration date.
Free Shipping
Clients can submit 'Special Orders' for scientific supplies through the Genomics Core website; there are no up-charges by the Core. Reimbursement to the Core is typically not required until the next invoicing period, although clients can request that their own LSU account numbers be used immediately to pay for the purchase. As described below, free shipping is provided for certain companies:
