The Molecular Biology Core Labs Oligo Service is located in the Reed-Rose-Gordon building on the Maple Ave campus in Shrewsbury, a secure facility that does not offer tours. If you need to pick oligos up directly at the building on a business day when the Core is not providing delivery (see our Inclement Weather Policy), our address is Rose-Gordon Bldg., 222 Maple Ave, Shrewsbury, MA, 01545.
Please make the pickup request ahead of time to ensure your item(s) will be placed at the appropriate location. We will send detailed instructions and a description of the pickup station. Notify us immediately if you are unable to locate your item(s).

**The old pickup location at Reed-Rose-Gordon has been closed to follow Covid-19 safety protocols. Notify us before oligo pickup and Core Lab staff will attempt to meet you in the parking lot for a transfer. If this is not possible, we will send you instructions on how to access the new pickup location. Please follow all instructions posted at the site and do not enter further into the building. This protocol will remain in place until further notice.
