IDI-GEMS - GENOMIC SEQUENCING AND BIOINFORMATICS SERVICES
IDI-GEMS's highly qualified staff strive for optimal quality and accuracy in facilitating and enhancing microbial genomics research at Ohio State and organizations external to the university. Please use the guide below to arrange genomic or bioinformatic services.
Step 1: Send an email to idigenomics@osu.edu to indicate your interest in IDI-GEMS services.
Step 2: A staff member will respond with a Qualtrics survey to obtain information specific to your needs.
Step 3: Upon return of the Qualtrics survey, a quote will be sent to you via email. A brief follow-up meeting may be needed to discuss additional details regarding project goals.
*The following steps apply to internal/Ohio State clients only. External clients will follow a different process, including signing a testing agreement. For external clients, IDI-GEMS will contact you to outline the process.
Step 4: To move forward with the project, initiate a non-catalog requisition in Workday.
Workday requisition information:
Internal Supplier: IDI-GEMS
The requisition should be entered as a service, not a good.
Reference the Quote ID in the Internal Memo field and provide contact information (name and email address).
Follow unit-level policies/procedures for initiating a requisition.
Once the requisition is approved at all levels, a purchase order will be generated and sent automatically to IDI-GEMS.
Step 5: Upon receipt of the purchase order, sample drop-off logistics can be coordinated with an IDI-GEMS staff member.
Step 6: Orders will be billed in Workday upon completion of service(s)
IDI-GEMS is unable to pre-bill/pre-charge
For large orders, billing will occur at different intervals based on completion of “batches” as determined by the IDI-GEMS staff and IDI’s business manager
