Covaris M220

06-27-2012, 09:15 AM

Has anyone purchased and used a Covaris M220 yet? I am wondering specifically for use in shearing for 454 FLX Plus Rapid Library preps. I have a several projects coming up with large numbers of RL+ libraries and am starting to look for an alternative to nebulization.

Thanks!

Hi LAH,

The Covaris M220 is a new personal DNA fragmentation system launched at the AGBT this year.
I think it will be a great idea for you to evaluate the M220 in your lab with your DNA samples. Covaris at the moment has a 14 day no questions asked evaluation without the need to submit a PO or leave a credit card. You can find out more at http://covarisinc.com/products/afa-u...tion/m-series/
The installation and setup for use is very simple and easy. It takes less than 10 minutes to install, and the instrument is ready to use within 5 minute of the installation.
The optimized settings for shearing sizes of 150bp to 5kb can be found at http://covarisinc.com/wp-content/uploads/pn_010166.pdf

Thank you

Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool

by SEQadmin2

CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.¹ But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into...

Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems

by SEQadmin2

Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.
