Have you heard of any improvements over the previous system (other than the 96 sample capability)?
The agilent page is not very informative.

I think that is it, other than the walk away capability. Pricing is about $5k more than the old system. Uses the same tapes and allows selecting specific wells. Not sure if that requires two at a time. This was from someone who attended their booth.Last edited by Ingeneious; 01-30-2016, 06:21 PM.Comment

Hi! Just writing 4 years later..
My lab is thinking about buying TapeStation. I would like to hear more from you guys, how has your experience been over the past couple of years?
Also, I don't think TapeStation has any competition on the market. It seems like the best and also fastest QC system.
Thanks!Comment

Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.07-01-2026, 11:43 AM

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.
Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
