    TapeStation lane failures

    Hello Seqers,

    Has anyone experienced multiple lane failures on the TapeStation when loading samples from 96-well plates? We have seen this now on multiple instruments and Agilent does not have an answer. Of course we have ruled out the plates and samples but have been unable to isolate the problem on the instrument.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

      Yes-we have it occasionally when running with all supported consumables.

      They have not been able to tell us much either.

      However, if it is a big enough issue and you lose many lanes, they can usually be convinced to replace a box of tapes and reagents.

          Are you sure it's not bubbles in the tape? I find it hard to see if there are bubbles.

              Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
              by SEQadmin2



              Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

              Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating              ...

              New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
              by SEQadmin2


              Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

              We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing              ...
