1.  What is the website URL to sign up for time on the real-time calendar?

        http://146.6.133.14  This is the DNA sequencing website.  Either create and account or login to LIMS.  Go to the "Core Calendar" under "Other Tools."  Request access to the 7900HT.  After you read and sign the usage policy and go over the instrument with a member of the DNA Facility staff, you will be granted access to the calendar.

 2.  How long does a run take?

    A typical run takes ~1.5 hours.  If you are running a dissociation curve, the run is ~2.25 hours.  Remember to block off enough time for plate setup on the machine.

3.  How should I save my data?

    After the completion of your run click on File-Save As.  This will let you save your run to anywhere on the computer.  Please save the data to your designated user folder and to some other type of media (Zip, CD, flash drive, web space) that you can take with you.  We do not guarantee data storage and routinely delete files.  Make sure you take your data with you after a run!

4.  How can I analyze my data?

    You are welcome to sign up for time on the PC DNA computer in MBB 1.426K.  Please do not analyze data on the 7900HT computer.
