Comments
The facility will repeat a sample at no cost if the quality of sequence is compromised due to an error in the facility. SMF also provides custom services tailored to the individual needs such as project design, consultations and result interpretation. SAF provides a server for the dispersal of data and the results remain on the server for 30 days.
