Helpful Hints - Create a Quote

 

 

I Need To... Basic Overview

Create a quote and add service items to your Cart

Step 1. Add service items to your cart.

There are several options for adding items to the cart, including:

  1. Search results: individual or multiple selection
  2. Assay detail page
  3. My Favorites
  4. My Panels
  5. Directly in cart - Quick Add
  6. "Create Quote" from My Results

Setup Assay Parameters on your Quote

Step 2. Once assays have been added to your cart, testing parameters for each assay, or group of assays, can now be configured.
  1. Select assay "Mode".  
    "Single" mode allows you to enter a flexible number of concentrations and replicates. If available, selection of "IC50/EC50" mode populates the Eurofins defined concentration and replicate number.




  2. Choose number of compounds ("Comp")
  3. Choose number of concentrations ("Conc"). Certain assays may have pre-defined values or value ranges for either "Single" and/or "IC50/EC50" modes.
  4. Choose number of replicates ("Rep")
  5. Select "Turnaround Time" option. Certain assays may have additional turnaround times available.  See an assay's detail page for actual turnaround lengths.

Once your assays have been configured you can move to the next step by clicking "Proceed".

If you want to continue browsing the web site, click "Save & Update Price" to save parameters.

Add Compound Information to my Quote (Optional)

Step 3.  Adding compound information during the quote creation process is optional.  See the "Compound Information" section on "Place an Order" Helpful Hints page for more information on this topic.

Select the EPDS site to where you will ship your compounds for your quote

Step 4. The system will apply the default site for your account.  Please note that there will be a charge for selecting a site other than the default suggested by the system. We will make arrangements to have your compounds transferred to other EPDS sites when needed.

Select the Billing address for your quote

Step 5. The quote needs to show the correct billing address before the order is placed. 

If your billing address is not shown on the billing page during quote creation or you need to update it, then please provide our Client Services team with the full address (including contact name, telephone number and email, where appropriate). We will set up the new billing address for you (this should take approximately 24 hours to update)

Add additional Information to your quote (Optional)

Step 6.  In this section of the quote generation, you can add your personal study reference info, select additional study delivery formats, or add special instructions for your study.  This additional info will appear on the quote, invoice and study report.

Examples include:

  • Independent experiments
  • Non-standard solvents
  • Changes to the assay protocol (e.g. buffer, incubation time)
  • Specifying that the quote is a follow-up study
  • Additional charges (e.g. for custom reports, compound handling)
  • Special discounts

Other options available for your quote

Some additional actions available in the cart are "Delete" and "Duplicate" under the "Select Actions" dropdown. "Delete" will remove any selected assays from the cart (Note: the red delete icon(s) can also be used to delete one or all items from the cart). "Duplicate" will duplicate the select assays in the cart. The duplicate feature is typically used when you have multiple sets of compounds to be run against the same assay, but with different parameters.
