Where can I find the assay condition forms?

Please see your quotation to find out whether the assay is performed at our US or German research facility.

How do I prepare my compounds for screening?

Compound preparation for US site

Please choose one of the following two options:

Option 1: Reaction Biology’s preference is to receive your compounds as DMSO stock.

For smaller panels (under 50 targets), we require 20 μl of 10 mM DMSO stock. For larger panels, we require 50 μl to 100 μl of 10 mM DMSO stock. Sample concentration requirements may vary based on test conditions. For DMSO stock, shipment and delivery in dry ice are preferred for compound stability.

Option 2: We also accept compounds in powder form. Anywhere from 0.5 mg to 3 mg should be enough for most profiling requests, and can be delivered at room temperature or a temperature of your preference. It is Reaction Biology’s policy not to weigh customer compounds onsite.

The following is required to process your samples:
a) The exact molecular weight of each compound.
b) The exact weight of each compound.
c) The vessel containing the powder should be large enough to re-suspend the powder to 10 mM.
d) For a larger number of compounds delivered in powder form, a processing fee may be applied.
e) If you provide powder stock greater than 5 mg, the compound stock will be aliquoted at Reaction Biology for a service fee.

Additional powder stock will be stored for a period of six months, and the below charges will apply:

Weighing of sample stock (1-10 compounds) US$ 10 per/sample
Weighing of sample stock (11+ compounds) US$ 10 per sample for first 10 compounds, additional samples US$ 5 each
Shipment of remaining powder stock (Domestic) US$ 50 plus shipping charges
Shipment of remaining powder stock (International) US$ 100 plus shipping charges
Compound preparation for German site

The assay condition forms for biochemical assayscell-based assays, or immuno-oncology assays contain detailed information for compound preparation.

Where do I ship my compounds?

Shipping to US site.

Reaction Biology accepts deliveries during business hours (Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM EST). No packages will be processed on weekends and certain United States holidays.

International Shipments: Packages shipped from outside of the US will require a TSCA form. The TSCA form should be filled out and placed in the exterior pouch. It is best to include at least 2 copies of the TSCA form with your shipment. This will speed the passage of the parcel through US customs.

The AWB # is the Airway Bill number. It is the number (often called the tracking number) that the shipping company assigns to your package. Placing it on the sheet ensures that it is clear that the TSCA form pertains to your package. Additionally, please fill out the product description section of the TSCA form with a description of the materials you send. A harmonization code for your shipment may be required to pass through customs.

When filling out your shipment documents, please put in your address in the ‘return to’ line so that if the package needs to be returned by the courier, it is sent back to you. Reaction Biology accepts packages from any international delivery company, such as FedEx, World Courier, and DHL International etc. We do not recommend TNT because TNT has a higher rate of delaying package delivery.
