Metagenomics Order Process

Send an email to idigenomics@osu.edu to indicate your interest in IDI-GEMS services.

A staff member will respond with a Qualtrics survey to obtain information specific to your needs.

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.

To move forward with the project, initiate a Buckeye Buy requisition in Workday. IDI-GEMS has a hosted catalog in Workday. Follow unit-level policies/procedures for initiating a requisition.

Workday requisition information:

• Internal Supplier: Genomics and Microbiology Solutions (SPL-0037539).
• Reference the Quote ID in the Internal Memo field and provide contact information (name and email address).
• Once the requisition is approved at all levels, a purchase order will be generated and sent automatically to IDI-GEMS.

Coordinate sample drop-off logistics with an IDI-GEMS staff member.

Orders will be billed in Workday upon completion of service(s).

• Per University Policy, 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.
