Instructions for Sample Submission

The first step is to register as a new user on the VBI Core Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). This provides an easy-to-use, secure interface for sample submission and data retrieval. (Please note that Mozilla Firefox is the preferred browser for accessing the CLF LIMS.)

First time users should simply click on the link to the Laboratory Information Management System and sign in with

Username: PIregistration
Password: register

And click on "New PI Registration".

Online Help is provided under the "Admin" button and detailed instructions for registration and the user manual for the LIMS can be found at:

After submitting your registration information a member of the CLF staff will contact you by email within one working day to activate your personal account and provide additional information for setting up a new project.

Detailed instructions for preparation of biological samples for submission to each of the Core Laboratory Services can be found on the individual websites or by contacting laboratory staff at the email addresses below:
