Replacement Sample Fees
From time to time, laboratories may require replacement samples (due to technical error, sample mix ups etc). Replacement samples cannot be guaranteed, but will be sent if available. There is a charge to cover the costs associated with sending replacement samples unless the repeat samples are required due to an error by EMQN or a partner.
For 2023 these are detailed below:
| Lung*, Colorectal and Melanoma (1-4 samples) | £100 |
| Lung*, Colorectal and Melanoma (5-7 samples) | £175 |
Lung*, Colorectal and Melanoma (8-10 samples / full set) | £250 |
Oncogene panel (1-3 samples / full set) | £262 |
NGS schemes (full set) | £262 |
| All other schemes including sponsored schemes* | £70 |
Please see our 2023 participant guide for more information. The fee may be carried forward to your next invoice. Labs registered through a third party may be invoiced separately by that party.
You can request repeat samples here.
If your organisation has previously raised a PO number then you may need to adjust this to take account of costs associated with replacement samples.
Extra Material Fees
If you need to request additional material because you are using a technology that requires larger volumes of DNA then we will apply the charge to your account as detailed in our 2023 online scheme catalogue.
| Lung*, Colorectal, Melanoma, Oncogene Panel 1 Set | £262 |
| Lung*, Colorectal, Melanoma, Oncogene Panel 2 Sets | £315 |
| Lung*, Colorectal, Melanoma, Oncogene Panel 3 Sets | £355 |
| DNA Sequencing - NGS (vGermline) (1x EXTRA set of materials) | £170 |
| DNA Sequencing - NGS (vGermline) (2x EXTRA set of materials) | £205 |
| DNA Sequencing - NGS (Somatic only - no matched germline sample) (1x EXTRA set of materials) | £327 |
| DNA Sequencing - NGS (Somatic only - no matched germline sample) (2x EXTRA set of materials) | £370 |
| DNA Sequencing - NGS (Somatic + matched germline sample) (1x EXTRA set of materials) | £490 |
| DNA Sequencing - NGS (Somatic + matched germline sample) (2x EXTRA set of materials) | £535 |
| Fragile X sydrome, Friedereich ataxia, and Myotonic Dystrophy 1 Set | £15 |
*N.B. Charges will apply to cover the costs of additional or replacement scheme samples in a sponsored EQA scheme as these costs are not covered by the sponsor. This cost will be added to your invoice.
