RESOURCE CENTER

Less back-and-forth.
A better-prepared start.

Prepare sample details, research questions and expected deliverables before the first project discussion.

SAMPLE PREPARATION

Preparing your samples

Organize material by sample type and confirm the plan before collection.

ARC-WELL

Match the block, tissue region and research time point.

01

Confirm available material

Discuss blocks or sections, remaining tissue and paired specimens without compromising diagnostic material.

02

Prepare pathology information

Record collection site, fixation and storage; prepare de-identified pathology and available H&E or region annotations.

03

Label and dispatch

Map study IDs to blocks and time points, then use the agreed packaging and transport arrangements.

Prepare: material type, number of specimens, storage history, pathology regions, tumor content and follow-up time points.

WELLDR-SEQ

Plan collection before preservation and transport.

01

Coordinate in advance

Confirm the source, anticipated collection time, tissue type, controls and receiving arrangements.

02

Record key time points

Follow the agreed handling plan and record collection, processing, dispatch and receipt using consistent study IDs.

03

Handover and assess

Ship under project-specific conditions, then assess suitability for the corresponding cell or nuclei workflow.

Prepare: source and timing, preservation and transport plan, matched pathology, research question and existing datasets.

SPATIAL RESEARCH

Keep tissue morphology, regions and molecular data aligned.

01

Confirm the tissue and assay

Coordinate storage status, sectioning and the intended spatial workflow with pathology and laboratory staff.

02

Retain orientation and regions

Record tissue orientation and adjacent-section relationships; arrange H&E and region assessment as needed.

03

Map the related materials

Document how spatial sections, companion single-cell material and pathology records correspond before dispatch.

Prepare: tissue and storage status, sections and regions, companion material and the intended spatial analysis.

Use one consistent sample record.

Download a handover sheet and use study IDs, not names or medical-record identifiers.

This is a planning guide. Tissue quantity, section thickness, preservation media and transport conditions must be confirmed with the receiving team for the selected assay.

FROM SAMPLE TO INSIGHT

Sample-to-result workflow

A coordinated process, from collection planning to result interpretation.

Review sample preparation
  1. 01

    Discuss the question

    Define the question, available material and research goals.

  2. 02

    Confirm the study

    Agree on methods, controls, study scope and deliverables.

  3. 03

    Collect & dispatch

    Prepare and label material using the agreed collection plan.

  4. 04

    Sample quality check

    Check metadata and tissue, cell or nuclear quality.

  5. 05

    H&E & region review

    Review tissue regions for pathology or spatial studies as needed.

  6. 06

    Run the experiment

    Prepare samples and libraries, then sequence using the agreed assay.

  7. 07

    Analyze the data

    Review QC, clones, expression and relevant spatial associations.

  8. 08

    Deliver & discuss

    Deliver agreed datasets and figures, then discuss interpretation.

FFPE / Fresh tissue / Spatial studies

Collection, preservation and transport are agreed per project; H&E and region review depend on the study.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Common questions, answered early.

How do I choose between Arc-well and wellDR-seq?

Discuss Arc-well for FFPE-based CNA and clonal questions. Discuss wellDR-seq when suitable fresh tissue and paired DNA–RNA questions are available. The workflows are not interchangeable for all specimens.

What is the turnaround time?

Timing depends on sample assessment, batches, sequencing and analytical scope. Published laboratory workflow durations are not end-to-end project turnaround times.

Is publication or grant success guaranteed?

No. Outcomes depend on the question, specimens, design, data quality and validation. Collaboration is scoped around agreed experimental and analytical work, not journal tiers, acceptance or grant awards.

Does this provide individual diagnosis or treatment advice?

This website supports research collaboration and technical discussion, not individual diagnosis, response prediction or treatment decisions.

How should ethics and data access be handled?

Before work starts, agree applicable ethics approvals or authorizations, de-identification, access rights and data/results ownership. This website does not accept identifiable patient information or raw data uploads.
