    Covaris AFA Grade Water

    Hello,

    Is the "super special" water needed for a Covaris M220 just high quality ddH2O, or is it something else?

    Thanks,
    Andor

    As far as I recall (its been 2-3 years) we used to use milliQ water and changed it everyday before using it.

      Oh and its best to empty the tank out at night just in case you do get any salt or something or other managing to grow in it or stick to the tank walls, its supposed to be a super sensitive and precise instrument and changing the tank surface or having bits of whatever floating in the water are bound to affect the sound wave distribution.

        For Covaris instruments you can use milliQ grade water, or autoclaved ddH2O. Please make sure to empty the water at the end of the day in order to avoid algae growth.

        Thank you

        Thank you

            From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
            by SEQadmin2


            Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


            The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.

            Single-Cell Sequencing at an Inflection Point: Early Impacts of New Platforms and Emerging Trends
            by SEQadmin2


            With the launch of new single-cell sequencing platforms in 2026, the field stands at an exciting inflection point. This article surveys the most impactful advances in the field and discusses how they’re reshaping research in cancer, immunology, and beyond.


            Introduction

            Single-cell sequencing technologies have undergone remarkable advances over the past decade, transitioning from low-throughput experimental approaches to highly scalable platforms capable of...

            Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
            by SEQadmin2

            Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


            Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
