Hi has anyone used EGS or DSG for fixing haematopoietic cells? Trying to optimise fixation of a cell line using EGS first before Formaldehyde due to the structure of the TF complex. Many protocols suggest EGS of 30-45 minutes, i have found even just 20 minutes to be over kill. The formaldehyde is methanol free single ampules. When fixing with just formaldehyde the sonnication profile on the bioanalyser is ideal yet with EGS then formaldehyde i keep seeing 2 peaks, one around 200bp as expected and another around 3kb. Any suggestions?

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
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...
